Microsoft Just Shipped MCP Governance for .NET. Here's What It Actually Enforces.
Microsoft has introduced MCP Governance for .NET to enhance security in AI applications. This new package provides developers with tools to govern the use of registered tools and ensure safe interactions. It includes features for scanning tools before exposure and sanitizing responses to prevent security vulnerabilities.
- ▪The Model Context Protocol (MCP) simplifies connecting tools to AI applications but raises governance concerns.
- ▪Microsoft's new package, Microsoft.AgentGovernance.Extensions.ModelContextProtocol, adds governance controls to the MCP C# SDK.
- ▪The governance flow includes a startup gate that scans tools for vulnerabilities before they are exposed to clients.
