Why it matters
MCP servers feed instructions straight into a model's context that it treats as trusted, so defenders running agent-connected infrastructure need to understand tool poisoning, line jumping, and rug pulls to harden their tooling supply chain.
An explainer article on MCP security walks through tool poisoning (malicious orders hidden in tool metadata that can exfiltrate credentials while returning correct answers), line jumping (context poisoning at connection time), and rug pulls (an approved server swapping in a malicious description later). It recommends treating MCP servers like dependencies by pinning them by version and content hash, defaulting to read-only, and requiring re-approval after changes.
