Without RBAC for Agent Skills and MCP, your entire organization basically has root access to your company
Blog post from Sleuth
Dylan Etkin argues that the absence of Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) for Agent Skills and Multi-Context Processors (MCPs) poses a significant security risk as organizations integrate large language models (LLMs) like Claude or ChatGPT across various company systems. Without RBAC, employees could inadvertently access sensitive data, as the system lacks guardrails to restrict tools and skills to appropriate roles. The author highlights that the current MCP ecosystem lacks authorization scoping, leading to potential exposure of unnecessary tools to roles that don't require them, thereby increasing security risks. The text emphasizes the need for a management layer that applies RBAC at the orchestration level, ensuring that employees can only access skills and MCPs relevant to their roles, thus safeguarding sensitive data and maintaining organizational security policies. This approach is essential to leverage the transformative potential of AI while adhering to existing access policies, a gap that the author's platform, skills.new, aims to address.
