This article discusses the concept of 'tool masking' as a way to optimize the interaction between LLMs and APIs, arguing that simply exposing all API functionality (as done by MCP) is inefficient and degrades performance. It proposes shaping the tool surface to match the specific use case, improving accuracy, cost, and latency.
This article discusses Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard designed to connect AI agents with tools and data. It details the key components of MCP, its benefits (improved interoperability, future-proofing, and modularity), and its adoption in open-source agent frameworks like LangChain, CrewAI, and AutoGen. It also includes case studies of MCP implementation at Block and in developer tools.
MCP-Universe is a comprehensive benchmark designed to evaluate LLMs in realistic tasks through interaction with real-world MCP servers across 6 core domains and 231 tasks. It highlights the challenges of long-context reasoning, unfamiliar tool spaces, and cross-domain variations in LLM performance.
The article explores how modern AI agents are fulfilling the vision of the Semantic Web by combining AI's learned intuition with the logical structure of semantic technologies, creating intelligent agents that can understand and act on behalf of users.

This post details critical security vulnerabilities in the Model Context Protocol (MCP), including tool description injection, authentication issues, supply chain risks, and real-world incidents. It also discusses security improvements in the latest MCP specification and how Composio can help mitigate these risks.
This blog post explains that Large Language Models (LLMs) don't need to understand the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to utilize tools. MCP standardizes tool calling, simplifying agent development for developers while the LLM simply generates tool call suggestions based on provided definitions. The article details tool calling, MCP's function, and how it relates to context engineering.
This article details significant security vulnerabilities found in the Model Context Protocol (MCP) ecosystem, a standardized interface for AI agents. It outlines six critical attack vectors – OAuth vulnerabilities, command injection, unrestricted network access, file system exposure, tool poisoning, and secret exposure – and explains how Docker MCP Toolkit provides enterprise-grade protection against these threats.
The Azure MCP Server implements the MCP specification to create a seamless connection between AI agents and Azure services. It allows agents to interact with various Azure services like AI Search, App Configuration, Cosmos DB, and more.
Take a deep dive into how the Model Context Protocol (MCP) works and solidify your understanding by building an agentic system that uses it.
