My impression, and perhaps this is wildly off, is that MCP could be useful to whitelist safe usage of tools by LLMs.

I say this out loud so someone can correct me if I’m mistaken!

Then it's a useless concept, because people who use LLMs don't want to be bounded by a whitelist.

Strong disagree. I want absolutely control over what tools my agent can access on my computer.

Do you want your tech landlord to have absolute control over what tools your agent can use on your computer?

[james_marks]

As I understand it, I maintain the whitelist, not the tech overlord.

That’s sort of the point of MCP, as near as I can tell.
