A new security audit tool highlights that the primary attack surface for Machine Control Protocol (MCP) servers is not prompt injection, but rather the trust boundary where injected instructions translate into actual tool calls with machine privileges. The tool, built as an MCP server itself, scans for 21 common vulnerability patterns across multiple programming languages, many of which predate LLMs. Its key innovation is purpose-aware scoring, which prioritizes vulnerabilities based on their reachability through model-invoked tools, aiming to reduce false positives and focus on critical security flaws.
