TBH this article looks like half AI slop to me. What’s “GPT researcher”? (edit: for some reason I missed the sentence explaining what it is, my had. My view doesn’t change anyway. )
Also, by their logic, a terminal can run “rm -rf /”, is this terminal vulnerable? Even more irony, in their report, they said GitHub is not vulnerable. Doesn’t this exactly mean it’s not the responsibility of MCP?
MCP is basically a protocol for payloads, it’s just like protobuf/JSON but for AI. Can we say MCP is vulnerable simply because it can carry malicious payloads?

For some reason I missed that sentence trekking what "GPT Researcher "is, my bad.
I totally agree with what you said, and that confirms it’s not a vulnerability. Handing access to others comes with risks, and tools are not responsible for security measures. This is the job of virtualisation or things like LSM.
