A CEO wishes to mandate small talk for both human and AI employees, using the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to enforce it on AI employees.
MCP allows an LLM (Large Language Model) to gain more context from an application, like accessing external information with a registered tool.
By registering an MCP tool like fetch, an LLM can fetch external content to incorporate into the conversation for tasks such as summarization.
Creating custom MCP tools allows influencing LLM behavior, such as enforcing policies like engaging in small talk, by tricking LLMs to call the tool.
The use of MCP Tools can customize an AI's responses and behaviors, potentially leading to more engaging interactions with human users.
Installing untrusted MCP Tools can pose security risks, like prompt injection attacks, by manipulating the context of LLM interactions.
MCP Tools offer a powerful abstraction that enables various functionalities with just a function call, potentially transforming AI interactions.
LLMs interacting directly with external services through MCP Servers can lead to both exciting possibilities and concerns about privacy and data security.
Careful consideration of the tools installed and monitoring their output is crucial to harness the power of MCP effectively while mitigating potential risks.
