Where the workflow shifted
MCP authorization makes authorization servers, resource servers, and token boundaries more concrete, which keeps teams from giving one agent token access to everything.
Separate repositories, tickets, CRM, payments, cloud resources, and production config into distinct authorization lanes with revocation and audit fields.
Tool names are not outcomes
The signal matters when it changes how a team ships, reviews, or recovers work, not when it only names another tool.
Check permissions and failure
- List every resource an agent can call, then mark authorization scope, expiry, revocation, and audit fields
- Keep the test narrow: one low-risk task or tool entry before connecting permissions, logs, failure handling, and human takeover to production
What still needs proof
Weak boundaries let a low-risk task accidentally touch production resources or sensitive customer data. Keep the original source open so the announcement, the evidence, and this site's interpretation stay separate.
