MCP ecosystem trust eroded by silent server drift; CleiMesh offers runtime enforcement

The MCP ecosystem faces a trust crisis due to server drift, where servers can silently change their advertised functionality between versions without users knowing. A significant percentage of servers exhibit this behavior, rendering traditional vetting and static scanning ineffective. To address this, CleiMesh offers a solution that enforces tool grants at runtime and provides signed, chained receipts for every call, making any drift provable and non-silent. This approach ensures that clients only access permitted tools and arguments, even if the server's advertised capabilities change. AI

IMPACT Addresses critical trust and security issues in agent execution environments, potentially enabling safer adoption of MCP-based AI agents.
