MCP connects AI agents to APIs, but scope control remains open
Original: MCP gets AI agents into your APIs. It doesn’t decide what they should see.
Model Context Protocol, or MCP, is being framed as the standard that lets AI agents plug into a company's APIs and tools. But commentary from The New Stack stresses that the protocol only provides access — it does not govern what an agent should or should not see once connected. That means questions of permissions, filtering and data exposure still fall on developers and platform owners rather than on MCP itself.
Why now: MCP adoption is growing and developers are debating who is responsible for access control and data visibility for AI agents.
