The workflow

What your AI does when the audit starts.

The AI acts as your auditor, pulling live data from the MCP to show you its boundaries.

  1. Catalog tools

    The AI scans the MCP to find every executable function available to it.

    get_server_tools

  2. Map resources

    It looks for available data files and pre-set prompts that the agent can use.

    get_server_resourcesget_server_prompts

  3. Check connections

    The AI lists all active communication lines to see what is currently linked.

    list_connections

  4. Inspect specific links

    It pulls deep details on a single active connection to verify its state.

FAQ

How the audit behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI add new tools by itself?

    No. The AI can only see and use the tools explicitly provided by the MCP.

  • 02

    Can I use this to change my security settings?

    No. This tool is for auditing and viewing existing access, not for modifying permissions.

  • 03

    Does this show me what the AI is doing in real time?

    Yes, by checking active connections, you can see which links are currently established.

  • 04

    Can the AI delete a connection?

    No. The AI can list and inspect connections, but you must manage or terminate them manually.

  • 05

    How often does the tool list update?

    The list is live. Every time the AI runs the tool, it gets the most current state of the MCP.
