The MCP (Model Communication Protocol) specification provides a framework for applications to discover and invoke capabilities through a consistent interface, addressing interoperability challenges by defining tool specifications with names, descriptions, and schemas. While MCP handles transport authorization and ensures that tool calls are technically valid and secure, it does not inherently address the business logic or policy decisions required for complex workflows, such as an employee offboarding. The protocol distinguishes between the technical execution of a tool and the underlying business rules that govern when and why an action should be taken, highlighting the need for surrounding systems to enforce organizational policies and manage multiple identities involved in a workflow.
