Agentic security governance has concentrated on how AI agents reason and decide, while the Model Context Protocol layer that connects those agents to tools, data and APIs runs ahead of existing controls. Peter Chuzie, SimSpace’s Senior AI Solutions Architect, puts the problem plainly in InfoSec Relations: “MCP does not just connect an agent to a tool. It creates a new access path.” Governing that path means inventorying MCP servers, granting access by purpose, monitoring behavior rather than stated intent, and enforcing controls close to the data itself. Chuzie frames this as a controlled opening rather than a brake: done well, MCP governance lets organizations widen what agents are trusted to do instead of restricting capability out of caution.
