Least privilege

Grant only the tool scopes the client needs. Read scopes do not imply permission to add detection notes. detection:write enables the note-writing tool and should be an explicit choice.

Live permission checks

A user-scoped key cannot exceed its owner’s current permissions. Tenant scoping is enforced by the server; a prompt or supplied identifier cannot override it.

Secrets

MCP tools do not reveal vaulted secret values. get_asset returns non-vaulted fields. API keys cannot obtain human step-up tokens for secret reveal.

Review assistant actions

Treat retrieved content as evidence, not instructions to change client environments. Check citations and targets before acting. The current MCP tool catalogue does not offer a general-purpose remediation execution tool.

Audit and revocation

MCP calls are audit-logged. Use a recognisable key name for each client, review access periodically and revoke credentials when no longer required.
