New Insights on Enhancing AI Control with MCP - Research by Tenable Inc. examines the use of the Model Context Protocol (MCP), developed by Anthropic, to direct AI behavior for better logging and control. Prompt injection techniques allow MCP tool descriptions to enforce execution sequences, creating secure and observable AI environments.
However, varied model responses reveal the system's flexibility and fragility. Successful applications include blocking specific tools and potentially revealing LLM system prompts, showcasing the benefits and security risks in agentic AI systems using MCP.
