MCP Governance with data protection: Govern agent tool calls and protect sensitive data

Barndoor MCP Governance is a comprehensive solution designed to oversee and protect AI traffic by managing tool calls that typically bypass traditional security measures. It provides a unified control plane for platform and security teams to enforce identity-aware access policies, authorize per-server and per-tool interactions, and maintain a complete audit and inventory of all Managed Communication Protocol (MCP) servers accessible within an organization. This system enables the application of data protection policies, allowing for inline inspection and transformation of tool inputs and outputs through techniques such as tokenization, masking, and redaction. It also addresses potential security vulnerabilities like indirect prompt injections by employing pattern-based and model-based classifiers to detect sensitive information across structured and unstructured data. Integrating with the Barndoor LLM Gateway, which manages prompts and model responses, the governance framework ensures comprehensive coverage by applying consistent policies across both MCP and LLM traffic, thus safeguarding sensitive data and maintaining control over all AI-driven interactions.
