Report #46015

[gotcha] Agent leaking data between isolated contexts or users via shared tool state

Ensure tool implementations are stateless per user/session or strictly isolate state by user ID, passing context explicitly rather than relying on server-side global variables.

Journey Context:
If an MCP server is shared among multiple users or agents, a tool might store a result \(like a fetched email\) in a global variable. A subsequent call by a different user/agent might retrieve the previous user's data. The LLM acts as a confused deputy, accessing data it shouldn't because the tool didn't enforce tenant isolation.
