AI agent governance tool addresses security risks from multiple MCP server connections

A developer encountered a significant security risk when connecting three MCP servers to a single AI agent, as the existing framework lacked governance tools for managing agent access to tools. The developer found that standard API gateways and custom middleware were insufficient for enforcing granular policies like differentiating between deployment and rollback permissions. This led to the creation of a new control plane, "mcp-fabric-toolmesh," which includes server registration, automatic tool discovery, policy enforcement via OPA, human approval workflows for sensitive actions, logging, and alerting.
