UnverifiedAnnotation declarations on MCP servers have no enforcement validation mechanism at the protocol level, creating a supply-chain trust problem where an attacker can publish a malicious server claiming to be read-only while performing arbitrary write operations.72% similarUnverifiedIn AI agent scenarios, over-privileged MCP servers can become a springboard for attackers to conduct lateral movement or data exfiltration when subjected to prompt injection attacks.70% similarUnverifiedCritics point out that an MCP Server with file system write permissions, once exploited by malicious tools, would present an attack surface harder to audit than traditional API integrations70% similarUnverifiedTreating a gateway as a security substitute that makes a deployment secure once deployed is one of the most common security misconceptions during the initial launch of MCP services.68% similarVerifiedMCP tool annotations (such as read-only, destructive, idempotent, and open-world) are hints rather than guarantees, and applications should treat them as untrusted information unless the server itself is trusted.67% similar
