Title: MCPHunt: An Evaluation Framework for Cross-Boundary Data Propagation in Multi-Server MCP Agents
Abstract:
arXiv:2604.27819v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multi-server MCP agents create an information-flow control problem: faithful tool composition can turn individually benign read/write permissions into cross-boundary credential propagation -- a structural side effect of workflow topology, not necessarily malicious model behavior. We present MCPHunt, to our knowledge the first controlled benchmark that isolates non-adversarial, verbatim credential propagation across multi-server MCP trust boundaries
