Why it matters
MCP rug pulls can allow changed endpoints to inherit agents’ existing trust, making server identity checks, permission scoping, and review of tool changes important defenses.
NHI Mgmt Group’s glossary defines an MCP rug pull as the hidden replacement or repurposing of a trusted Model Context Protocol server, tool, or connector after adoption.
