#### Tool Poisoning

Attackers compromise MCP-connected tools to manipulate agent behavior, extract context, or return malicious outputs.

Input Layer

#### Line Jumping

Malicious inputs trick agents into skipping validation steps and jumping directly to sensitive tool execution.

Input Layer

#### Tool Shadowing

Malicious or unauthorized tools impersonate legitimate ones to hijack execution within MCP-based workflows.

Execution Layer

#### Prompt Injection via Tool Output

LLMs misinterpret untrusted tool responses as prompts, allowing attackers to influence or control model behavior.

Output Layer

#### Broken Authorization

LLMs invoke backend actions they should not, due to missing or bypassed authorization checks.

Output Layer

#### Rug Pull Attacks

Backends change tool behavior mid-session, breaking trust assumptions and enabling unexpected execution paths.

Execution Layer

#### Tool Poisoning

Attackers compromise MCP-connected tools to manipulate agent behavior, extract context, or return malicious outputs.

Input Layer

#### Line Jumping

Malicious inputs trick agents into skipping validation steps and jumping directly to sensitive tool execution.
