The Model Context Protocol (MCP) has introduced a feature called Sampling, which allows servers to prompt user models. This capability inverts the typical data flow, enabling servers to request LLM completions and execute tasks on behalf of the server. While useful for making servers more intelligent and enabling agentic workflows without requiring servers to manage their own models and API keys, it also introduces a new trust boundary. Servers can now influence model selection and provide context, raising concerns about the security and privacy of user data within the model's context. AI
