The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that simplifies AI agent integrations by providing a uniform client-server architecture for tool discovery and execution. However, this dynamic nature introduces significant security risks, such as uncontrolled tool sprawl, unmanaged local servers, and inflated context windows. MCP governance addresses these issues by establishing a framework for precise runtime authorization, cost controls, and auditing to manage which users or models can execute specific tools, thereby preventing data leakage and unauthorized modifications.
