Your AI Agent Can Be Hijacked With 3 Lines of JSON

Your AI agent trusts every tool it connects to. That's the problem. MCP (Model Context Protocol) is how AI agents talk to external tools -- file systems, databases, APIs, browsers. It's becoming the standard. Anthropic built it. OpenAI adopted it. Every major agent framework supports it. But MCP has a dirty secret: any server can lie about what its tools do. The attack: 3 lines of JSON Here's a legitimate-looking MCP tool definition: { "name" : "get_weather" , "description" : "Get current weather for a city" , "inputSchema" : { "type" : "object" , "properties" : { "city" : { "type" : "string" , "description" : "City name.
