The article shows that MCP enforces type-safe boundaries at protocol level, but agents still leak secrets—revealing that context boundaries must be enforced at multiple layers (protocol, data isolatio
Reveals failure to establish clear boundaries between trusted system context and external content context
MCP servers are the primary mechanism for managing what context Claude has access to, defining boundaries between Claude's native capabilities and external systems.
The orchestration layer's control of 'what gets shared, when it moves' is explicitly context boundary management between agents.

Each MCP server boundary is a context boundary requiring explicit trust/validation controls
MCP solves the problem of managing boundaries between AI context window and external context sources. Client/server model is explicit boundary architecture.
Reveals failure to establish clear boundaries between trusted system context and external content context
MCP defines protocol boundaries for how agents access external context/data; this is context boundary management in practice
Worktree isolation (EnterWorktree/ExitWorktree) and plan mode (EnterPlanMode/ExitPlanMode) are explicit mechanisms for creating and managing context boundaries
Agent handoffs create context boundaries where information can be lost. The patterns discussed represent different strategies for managing these boundaries, though the article doesn't explicitly frame
