Question 1

What security challenges does MCP introduce for AI agent-tool interactions?

Accepted Answer

MCP increases exposure to prompt injection, tool impersonation, supply-chain compromise, and other protocol- and ecosystem-level exploits, especially when agents operate autonomously and reason over complex contexts.

Question 2

Which security gaps does the paper highlight as still inadequately addressed?

Accepted Answer

The work emphasizes missing coverage in state consistency, multi-tenant isolation, context integrity, and comprehensive authentication/authorization for dynamic MCP environments.

Question 3

What does the proposed MCP security framework include?

Accepted Answer

It introduces an integrated set of mechanisms such as secure authentication and authorization, robust supply-chain defenses, enhanced observability, and an MCP Server Standard Framework using secure-by-design principles with threat detection.
