MCP & tool security

Put an authorization boundary around sensitive tool calls.

A model selecting a tool does not establish permission to execute it. Provider scopes and tool discovery need an independent action-control boundary.

Protected action

Bind a tool call to a signed intent and exact registered predicates. Let the configured protected destination validate and consume authority.

Implementation requirements

Use deployment-owned tool bindings, authenticated transport, pinned verification keys, tenant isolation, and a protected mutation endpoint. The agent must not choose the enforcement mode or destination credentials.

Evaluation boundary

Reference gateway and receiver checks do not establish compatibility with every MCP client or enforcement at an external production service.

Inspect the outcome

Follow the decision, approval when required, grant, destination effect, and receipt. Check altered parameters and replay refusals alongside a legitimate execution. An HTTP success alone is insufficient evidence.

Use case / MCP & tool security

Bind a tool call to a signed intent and exact registered predicates. Let the configured protected destination validate and consume authority.

Illustrative integration review. These controls explain the design; they do not submit requests, grant authority, or execute an action.

From evaluation to a scoped pilot

Start with one protected action. Inspect reference evidence, agree the destination integration and operational responsibilities, then assess the selected deployment against success, failure, abuse, and recovery requirements.

Your governed workflow

Bring the next consequential action under control.

Show us the actor, protected resource, and action that must never execute without exact authority. We’ll map the decision and evidence path with you.
