    Badal Bhushan proposes a two-gate authorization model for MCP tools exposed to agents.

    • The first gate decides whether a capability should be available to a given agent.

    • The second gate authorizes or not a specific use of the tool against a specific resource, based on identity and context.

    • Filtering tools/list reduces risk but is not an authorization, according to the author.

    • A system prompt is not an access control mechanism: a deterministic control outside the model must decide.
