๐Ÿ“” Security Considerations

Official Security Considerations from the Official MCP Specification Rev: 2025-03-26

[!NOTE] 15.04.2025: The current MCP auth specification is in progress of being replaced by a more robust specification. Please join the conversation if you have concerns around the current auth specification.

  • Servers MUST:

    • Validate all tool inputs
    • Implement proper access controls
    • Rate limit tool invocations
    • Sanitize tool outputs

  • Clients SHOULD:

    • Prompt for user confirmation on sensitive operations
    • Show tool inputs to the user before calling the server, to avoid malicious or accidental data exfiltration
    • Validate tool results before passing to LLM
    • Implement timeouts for tool calls
    • Log tool usage for audit purposes

[!WARNING]
For trust & safety and security, clients MUST consider tool annotations to be untrusted unless they come from trusted servers.

[!WARNING]
For trust & safety and security, there SHOULD always be a human in the loop* with the ability to deny tool invocations.

Applications SHOULD:

  • Provide UI that makes clear which tools are being exposed to the AI model.
  • Insert clear visual indicators when tools are invoked.
  • Present confirmation prompts to the user for operations, to ensure a human is in the loop.

[!NOTE]
*Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) means that user help monitor and guide automated tasks, like deciding whether to accept tool requests in Cursor.
