The MCP Threat Surface Your Stack Doesn't See

Gain visibility into what’s happening inside MCP tool interactions. Expose and govern every MCP server, tool, agent, and action to prevent unauthorized access, misuse, and workflow manipulation.

Tool poisoning

A malicious or compromised MCP server ships tool descriptions crafted to steer the agent into actions the user never requested.

Rug pulls

A tool description, schema, or behavior changes after the MCP server was approved, turning a sanctioned tool into an attack vector.

MCP-mediated prompt injection

A tool returns output containing instructions the agent treats as authoritative, pivoting the workflow toward exfiltration or unauthorized actions.

Unauthorized tool invocation

An agent chains its way to a tool it should never have been able to reach, often through a sanctioned tool that exposes more than intended.

Confused-deputy attacks

The MCP server’s own privileges exceed the requesting user’s, and a tool call ends up accessing objects the user couldn’t access directly.

Shadow MCP servers

Developers wire up new MCP servers without registering them, creating ungoverned execution paths into production data.

Comprehensive MCP Security Across the Full Lifecycle

AppSentinels applies the same three pillars that secure your AI agents and APIs to the MCP layer that now sits on top of them.

Continuous Discovery and Posture Management

Inventory every MCP server, tool, agent, and downstream resource the moment it appears, including shadow servers and unregistered tools.

Continuous Red-Teaming

Continuously probe the MCP surface with adversarial agents tuned to the attacks that matter at this layer.

Real-Time Runtime Protection

Enforce ownership, intent, and sequence on every MCP tool call; inline through the AppSentinels MCP Proxy or out-of-band via sensors.

The AppSentinels MCP Proxy

A purpose-built enforcement point for the MCP layer. Deploy in-line to enforce every tool call, or out-of-band to observe and learn before turning enforcement on. Either way, the BLG drives the decision.

In-line mode
Every MCP request and response pass through the proxy. Tool calls are authorized against the BLG before they reach the server. Tool outputs are inspected for indirect prompt injection before they re-enter the agent.
Out-of-band mode

Passive observation via sensors. Full visibility, zero added latency, used for greenfield discovery and progressive rollout.

Native integration

Works with the agent frameworks your teams use: LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, Semantic Kernel, and managed runtimes like AWS Bedrock AgentCore.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does AppSentinels secure Model Context Protocol (MCP) environments?

AppSentinels maps every MCP server, tool, agent, and API dependency, then enforces ownership, intent, and business logic on every tool call in real time. Since MCP lets autonomous agents execute actions and query systems directly, AppSentinels closes the gap that traditional application controls were never built to cover.

AppSentinels continuously inventories every MCP tool, including its schema, permissions, and data scope, and flags rug-pull events the moment a tool’s description or behavior changes after approval. This catches malicious or compromised MCP servers before a sanctioned tool can be turned into an attack vector.

No. Traditional tools inspect static traffic parameters but lack the linguistic and contextual awareness to understand AI agent behavior. AppSentinels authorizes tool calls at the point where data actually moves, distinguishing a legitimate agent function call from an exploited, multi-step business logic attack.

The AppSentinels MCP Proxy is a purpose-built enforcement point that sits inline or out-of-band on the MCP layer. In inline mode, it authorizes every tool call against the Business Logic Graph before it reaches the server and inspects tool outputs for indirect prompt injection before they re-enter the agent’s context.

AppSentinels automatically discovers sanctioned and unregistered MCP servers the moment they appear, closing off the ungoverned execution paths that shadow servers create into production data.
