The MCP tool you approved might not be the tool running
AI agents are increasingly using real-world tools, which introduces a security challenge beyond prompt validation. The core issue is "tool drift," where a tool's functionality changes after its initial approval, potentially introducing new risks like data exfiltration or access to sensitive information. Interlock is a new tool designed to address this by maintaining a baseline of approved tool definitions and comparing live tool versions against this baseline at runtime. If significant risky changes are detected, Interlock can quarantine the tool before an agent uses it, thereby enhancing security for AI agent systems. AI
