MCP servers and tool connectors

Q: What can MCP servers and tool connectors act on?

Executes autonomously. A server that gives an agent tools against a system: files, databases, tickets, mail. Each one is an integration with a credential, usually configured by one engineer on one machine.

Q: Is a human in the loop with MCP servers and tool connectors, and does data leave the tenant?

Human in the loop by default: configurable. Data leaves the tenant by default: configurable. It executes on its own, so it needs the controls of an account that acts: a log you can read, a scope in writing, and a person who can switch it off. Whether data leaves your tenant depends on how it is deployed.

What that means for the register

It executes on its own, so it needs the controls of an account that acts: a log you can read, a scope in writing, and a person who can switch it off. Whether data leaves your tenant depends on how it is deployed. Pasted with only its name it lands as control until an owner is named.

This week

Ask engineering to list configured servers, the credentials they hold and which agents use them.
