Solutions · Protect MCP and Tools
Know every MCP server and tool your agents can call, and decide each call before it runs
The Model Context Protocol makes it easy to give agents new tools, and just as easy to give them tools nobody reviewed. CydraLabs discovers MCP servers and their tools, authenticates the agents calling them and evaluates policy for each tool call.

The challenge
What teams tell us they face
For: Platform engineering, AI engineering and application security teams
- MCP servers are added by individual teams and rarely appear in an asset inventory.
- Tool descriptions and responses can carry instructions that steer an agent (tool poisoning).
- Agents often reach MCP servers with shared or long-lived credentials.
- A single compromised server can expose every tool and data source behind it.
The approach
How CydraLabs helps
Step 1
Discover servers and tools
Enumerate MCP servers and their tools through the MCP tools/list interface, with SSRF safeguards (Beta).
Step 2
Authenticate the caller
Each agent presents a signed, short-lived workload token; unknown or suspended agents are denied.
Step 3
Decide per tool call
Policy over agent, tool, operation, target, data classification and risk decides allow, deny or require approval.
Step 4
Inspect and record
Parameters are checked for secrets, personal data and injection patterns; every decision becomes evidence.
