Why trust any user with access to any terminal? UNIX solved this decades ago. It’s just we’re all learning to be sysadmins for the most creatively destructive and persistent set of users of all time.
UNIX didn't really solve this scenario. Yes, you can limit what local files a user has access to. But with web applications and cloud services being so ubiquitous, the local boundaries are pretty much meaningless. Forcing an agent through an MCP is a way to grant access to remote services while still restricting how the network access can be used.
