Enterprise AI agent security
MCP security controls
MCP expands what agents can do with one tool call. Security controls must cover which servers, operations, and destinations are allowed for each autonomous actor — evaluated when the tool runs, on that machine.

Tool invocation expands authority in one call — evaluate MCP bridges to shell, files, and cloud on the host.

Prove exposure in your environment
The AI Agent Exposure Assessment runs Audit Mode on a pilot developer group for fourteen days and delivers evidence your security leadership can act on — then you enforce what matters.

- •Allow-list tool categories and destinations per agent context.
- •Detect when MCP bridges access to shells, files, or cloud APIs.
- •Audit-mode baselines before blocking legitimate developer workflows.
Common questions
Is an MCP gateway enough?
Gateways help inventory and route traffic. Execution enforcement on the endpoint still matters when tools invoke local shell, filesystem, or credentials outside the gateway path.
