Why it matters
MCP integrations can expose connected data and systems when agents overtrust tool responses or exercise overly broad permissions, making authorization boundaries and connector governance important defensive controls.
NHI Mgmt Group’s MCP Attack Vectors glossary entry describes prompt injection, tool poisoning, unauthorized tool calls, data exfiltration, and credential misuse across Model Context Protocol integrations. The entry recommends scoped authorization, server governance, logging, and containment; it does not disclose a specific vulnerability or new research finding.
