Security Philosophy

🛡️ Zero-Trust Model

Every AI request is treated as potentially hostile. No implicit trust, even for authenticated agents. Every operation validated against explicit policies.

⚡ Security + Usability

Strong security shouldn't mean poor developer experience. Simple configuration, clear policies, and helpful error messages make security easy to implement correctly.

Core Security Principles

🔐

Credential Isolation

API keys never reach AI systems. Credentials stored securely in environment variables, accessed only by MCP Agent runtime.

🎯

Policy-Based Access

Every request checked against fine-grained policies. Control by method, path, parameters, and time.

🔍

Data Redaction

Automatic removal of sensitive data from responses. SSNs, API keys, and PII never exposed to AI.

📊

Audit Logging

Complete record of every action. Who, what, when, why - all tracked for compliance and security.

Security in Practice

Read-Only Access Pattern

# .mrapids/policy.yaml
policies:
  - name: "ai-readonly"
    allow:
      - method: GET
      - method: HEAD
      - method: OPTIONS
    deny:
      - method: POST
      - method: PUT
      - method: DELETE
      - method: PATCH

Path-Based Restrictions

# Only allow specific endpoints
policies:
  - name: "customer-support"
    allow:
      - path: "/api/v1/customers/*"
      - path: "/api/v1/orders/*"
    deny:
      - path: "/api/v1/admin/*"
      - path: "/api/v1/billing/*"

Multi-Environment Setup

# Different policies per environment
environments:
  development:
    base_url: "https://api-dev.example.com"
    policy: "dev-write-access"
  production:
    base_url: "https://api.example.com"
    policy: "prod-readonly"

Custom Redaction Patterns

# Automatic sensitive data removal
redaction:
  patterns:
    - ssn           # Built-in SSN detection
    - credit_card   # Built-in card detection
    - api_key       # Built-in key detection
    - name: "employee_id"
      pattern: "EMP[0-9]6"
      replacement: "[EMPLOYEE_ID]"

Security Best Practices

👨‍💼 For Administrators

✓ Enable audit logging to SIEM
✓ Rotate credentials quarterly
✓ Monitor anomalous AI behavior
✓ Set up alerts for policy violations
✓ Regular security policy reviews

👩‍💻 For Developers

✓ Test policies in dev environment

🚨 Incident Response

1. Identify affected systems
2. Review audit logs
3. Revoke compromised credentials
4. Update security policies
5. Document and learn

Security FAQ

How are my API credentials protected?

Credentials are stored securely as environment variables and are never exposed to AI systems. The MCP Agent runtime accesses them only when executing authorized API calls. Your API keys remain completely isolated from the AI layer.

Can AI see my sensitive data?

No. MCP Agent automatically detects and redacts sensitive information before returning responses to AI. This includes SSNs, credit card numbers, API keys, passwords, and other PII. You can configure additional redaction patterns for your specific needs.

What happens if an AI tries malicious operations?

Every request is validated against your security policies before execution. Unauthorized operations are blocked, logged, and can trigger alerts. The zero-trust model means AI has no implicit permissions - only what you explicitly allow.

How detailed are the audit logs?

Audit logs capture: timestamp, AI agent ID, requested operation, policy decision, actual API call, response code, data accessed, and any policy violations. Logs are stored locally in standard formats for easy integration with SIEM tools.

What access controls are available?

MCP Agent provides fine-grained policy controls including method restrictions (GET, POST, etc.), path-based rules, and pattern matching. Rate limiting configuration is available with enforcement coming in a future update.

Is MCP Agent itself secure?

MCP Agent follows security best practices: signed binaries, minimal dependencies, regular security audits, CVE monitoring, and rapid patching. We provide SBOM (Software Bill of Materials) for transparency and maintain a responsible disclosure program.
