Model Context Protocol (MCP) seems to be an effective protocol.
MCP does seem to hit the sweet spot in protocols:
Small and simple enough to be easy for people to coordinate on (not much to disagree with).
Complex enough to do something non-trivial that otherwise would have lots of room for arbitrar
LLMs make it so any text is "executable," so a possible injection attack.
This is because it allows english to be converted, explicitly or implicitly, to "executable" code as instructions for it to follow.
By default, the instructions it executes only affect what kinds of words it puts on your scree
LLMs are fundamentally exposed to the prompt injection problem.
There's no containment boundary between the data and control planes.[aci]
Unlike in SQL, there's no structural way to escape possibly dangerous input and remove it from the control plane.
It's all just squishy text.
A rule of thumb for when prompt injection might be a problem: if the model can call external tools and can accept untrusted inputs.
But as long as the model can't call external tools, or the data comes only directly from a user or a trusted component, then prompt injection isn't too big of a worry.
