Sorry, I don’t understand. My understanding of what MCP is - is that it’s just a standard on how to provide tools/functions to LLMs to call. What those functions are, what they do, and what else happens when they’re called is - in my understanding - out of scope of MCP. To me MCP is literally a plumbing between black boxes, and plumbing cannot do anything about the safety of what happens outside of it. So to me MCP is not “safe” or “unsafe” - those terms are meaningless for a plumbing (as long, of course, as plumbing itself doesn’t somehow explode or connect somewhere it’s not supposed to or stuff like that). Do you mean the purpose and/or scope are different somehow?
