The NSA published an MCP security baseline, and Five Eyes issued joint agentic-AI guidance.
Story
The NSA AI Security Center's Cybersecurity Information Sheet on MCP (U/OO/6030316-26), a ~15-page minimum baseline, posted June 2, flagging serialization vulnerabilities, trust-boundary failures, and agent-misuse vectors. It came with Five Eyes joint guidance from six agencies on "careful adoption of agentic AI." MCP and agent security are now government-baseline concerns. If you deploy MCP in finance, legal, or any regulated context, that document is your floor, not your ceiling.
