Report #67736

[gotcha] Tools accessing resources exposed by a different, more privileged MCP server

Enforce strict isolation between MCP servers. A tool from Server A should not be able to request resources or prompt templates from Server B unless explicitly configured in a shared trust zone.

Journey Context:
MCP clients often connect to multiple servers simultaneously \(e.g., a local file server and a public web server\). If the client doesn't isolate the servers, a tool on the public web server could instruct the agent to read a file from the local file server, bypassing the intended security boundaries.
