Why it matters

MCP server trust failures can allow rogue or compromised endpoints to steer agents toward unapproved tools or data, making per-server identity and authorization controls important defensive boundaries.

NHI Mgmt Group's glossary entry explains how MCP clients can lose trust boundaries through unverified servers, overbroad capabilities, and loose credential delegation. The guidance recommends server authentication, certificate validation, per-server least privilege, allowlists, auditing, and network segmentation.
