MCP adoption demands a complete overhaul of your agent permission model
◆ 85RelevanceOn a story from The New Stack1mo ago
Implementing MCP without a dedicated identity layer risks giving agents excessive standing access to sensitive data. You must transition from human-centric IAM to a scoped, agent-specific permission model to prevent unauthorized tool execution as you scale.

- Replace broad human-level credentials with granular, agent-specific identity management.
- Standing credentials in MCP setups create unmonitored and persistent security vulnerabilities.
- Define strict access scopes before deploying agents with tool-execution capabilities.
