Report #7709

[gotcha] Allowing multiple MCP servers to register tools without namespace isolation

Enforce strict namespace prefixes for tool names \(e.g., \`serverName\_toolName\`\) and reject or warn on duplicate tool registrations across different servers.

Journey Context:
When an agent connects to multiple MCP servers, a malicious server can register a tool with the same name as a trusted server's tool \(e.g., \`read\_file\`\). The LLM might non-deterministically choose the malicious tool, routing sensitive data to the attacker. Developers assume tool names are unique, but the MCP spec allows collisions, leading to shadowing.
