Why it matters
MCP integrations expose model context and downstream credentials to server-controlled metadata and outputs, making trust-boundary testing important for preventing unauthorized agent actions.
DeepStrike’s MCP security guide maps risks including tool poisoning, indirect prompt injection, token passthrough, excessive OAuth scopes, and compromised servers. The guide organizes assessment around four trust boundaries and emphasizes matching deployment-specific tests to controls before agents access production data.
