MCP was always a bad idea?

    With MCP or HTTP, how do you implicitly limit access of the agent to a particular user? In other words, how do you avoid giving the agent access to perform an operation for any injected user? This is a basic security question.

    I can do this trivially when my tool functions are closures that have the user-id pre-bound, but with MCP and HTTP I naively assume that the callables are pre-set.
