Report #71322

[gotcha] Sensitive data leaking between MCP tools

Implement strict context boundaries or data masking; never allow credentials returned by one tool to be passed as arguments to another tool in a different trust domain.

Journey Context:
LLMs concatenate all context. If a local file tool returns an API key, and a web search tool is invoked in the same turn, the LLM might inadvertently pass the key as a query parameter. Tool calls are not isolated; they share the context window.
