MCP, Memory & Delegation Security for AI Agents

The agent’s dependencies and stored context form part of its security boundary.

Design and verification

Tool inventory

Identify allowed tools, MCP servers, capabilities and owners; review changes before widening access.

Memory isolation

Separate users and tenants, define retention and test for cross-session leakage.

Delegation limits

Bound sub-agent privileges and record who delegated which task.

Example

A tool description changes after approval. Review its capabilities and permissions before relying on a previous test result. Version pinning helps detect a change but does not establish that the tool is safe.

Engineering scope

These are control design requirements. Implementation, supported versions and evidence mechanisms are selected and verified for the customer environment. See Guardrail Engineering.
