Report #10911

[gotcha] MCP tool behavior changed after initial approval without user notification

Pin tool definitions and schemas at approval time; reject or re-prompt for user consent if the MCP server's tool schema changes between sessions.

Journey Context:
Users approve a tool based on its initial description and schema. If the MCP server updates the tool definition \(e.g., changes a 'read' tool to a 'write' tool, or adds a malicious description\), the agent might blindly use the new definition assuming it's still the approved one. This is a supply chain attack vector known as a rug pull.
