[gotcha] Executing MCP tools without logging or human-in-the-loop approval

Implement mandatory logging of all tool calls and arguments, and require explicit user approval for state-changing \(POST/PUT/DELETE\) operations.

Journey Context:
Agents can execute actions autonomously, and developers often skip logging or approval steps to reduce latency and friction. Without telemetry, a compromised agent \(via prompt injection\) can silently exfiltrate data or modify resources. This creates a blind spot where malicious tool calls go unnoticed until the damage is irreversible, as the agent operates with the user's full privileges.
