MCP governance requires deliberate construction to prevent production incidents

Building robust governance around the Multi-Agent Communication Protocol (MCP) is crucial for production environments, as the protocol itself lacks built-in policy enforcement.

Implementing a centralized gateway with role-based access control (RBAC) and virtual MCP servers can effectively segment permissions and ensure agents only access tools they are authorized to use, thereby mitigating risks.
