Objective

Model Context Protocol and similar tool protocols can dramatically increase agent capability by making tools discoverable and invokable. Agent Trust Cloud should act as a secure MCP gateway/registry that verifies servers, constrains tools and records every invocation.

What to build

  • Discover MCP servers and tool catalogs.
  • Verify server identity, ownership and environment.
  • Inspect tool schemas and classify side effects/sensitivity.
  • Proxy tool discovery and invocation through policy where possible.
  • Block unapproved servers, tools or parameter patterns.

Implementation decisions

  • Maintain trust status and last-seen/version fingerprints for each server.
  • Alert when a server changes tools or expands schema authority.
  • Apply egress/DLP checks to tool inputs and outputs.
  • Use allowlisted transports/endpoints and strong server authentication.

Definition of done

  • An unregistered MCP server cannot serve privileged production agents under enforcement mode.
  • Tool additions trigger inventory and policy review.
  • Every invocation maps to agent identity and server/tool version.

Success metrics

  • MCP servers discovered
  • Unapproved servers blocked
  • Tool-schema changes
  • MCP invocations governed

STRATEGIC FEATURE

MCP security can be an early wedge because it exposes the exact point where agents gain new capabilities.
