Why it matters
Unsanctioned AI agents and MCP servers can use existing user privileges and credentials to access files, send email, and change production systems without security review.
NHI Mgmt Group’s guide explains how to discover and govern unapproved AI agents and MCP servers through configuration-file scanning, OAuth-consent inventories, allowlists, and managed configurations. The guide emphasizes that local MCP servers execute with users’ privileges and obtain credentials from their environment.
