Why it matters
MCP server exposure highlights why defenders must secure authentication, tool permissions, and secret handling at the boundary between AI agents and privileged systems.
MCP server exposure describes unauthorized access to Model Context Protocol servers through reachable endpoints, weak authentication, overbroad tool permissions, or unsafe data handling. The glossary entry explains how these conditions can expose credentials and sensitive context or enable misuse of downstream tools; it does not disclose a new vulnerability or incident.
