Model Context Protocol is does not secure by default.
One of the big reasons is what @simonwillison.net calls the Lethal Trifecta.
Watch this video to learn more about access control around MCP and how that caused some recent high-profile breaches

Cedar is not a good fit for AI Agent Authorization.
That's because policy engines don't easily have access to what we like to term 'ambient context.
See this video to learn more about why policy engines are NOT suited for AI Authorization

How do you know what a user is allowed to access in a RAG system?
If you're building a RAG pipeline, it's important to think of access control.
Here's a primer on building fine-grained authZ in a RAG using Pinecone as your vector database and the OpenAI LLM.

AI can't secure AI.
But you can use AI to build a deterministic authorization system. Check out this tutorial on how you can use AuthZed MCP Servers to build a Permissions System in under 10 Minutes.

Remember: AI fundamentally changes the interface, but not the fundamentals of security.
There's been so many high-profile data breaches in Model Context Protocol (MCP) this past year including WhatsApp, Anthropic, GitHub, Asana & more.
Here's a timeline of breaches with a description of why it happened, & some patterns we're seeing across these incidents
