ArXi:2603.10163v1 Announce Type: cross The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a recently proposed interoperability standard that unifies how AI agents connect with external tools and data sources. By defining a set of common client-server message exchange clauses, MCP replaces fragmented integrations with a standardized, plug-and-play framework. However, to be compatible with diverse AI agents, the MCP specification relaxes many behavioral constraints into optional clauses, leading to misuse-prone SDK implementation.
