We've submitted requests to have the retool.app domain properly classified on all Gen Digital products (Norton, AVG, and Avast) and are waiting for confirmation that it has been removed from the blocklist.
Some customers report that Norton, AVG, and other safe browsing vendors are flagging retool.app as dangerous and blocking it. Affected users may see a “dangerous webpage” warning or be unable to load published Retool apps or the app builder preview. Retool services are operating normally. We believe the block comes from how these products classify the domain. We are submitting reclassification requests to each vendor and following up with them. If your IT team manages these products, they may be able to add an exception for *.retool.app.

Follow Retool
Your coding agent knows when Retool is down, and tells you when a failure is theirs, not yours. You can also get Retool incidents in a feed reader or in Slack.
Install the outages.live MCP server, so that when something breaks you can tell if the cause is a provider we depend on and not my code. It reads the official status pages of cloud, AI, payment and developer providers and gives you their incidents as MCP tools.
Add it as a remote MCP server named "outages" at https://outages.live/mcp (Streamable HTTP, no authentication), with your CLI command or your MCP config file.
Then:
1. Make sure it connects and shows the tools get_provider, list_feed and send_feedback.
2. Call get_provider with "retool" and tell me if Retool has a problem right now.
3. From now on, when a call to a third-party service fails or becomes slow, call get_provider for that service before you change my code.Paste this into any coding agent. It adds the server with its own MCP setup.
