From e1f0a56f9c4fc4c310be7767d2e50003d7898298 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: glatinone <93207632+glatinone@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Mon, 17 Aug 2026 15:29:22 +0800 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] feat(runtime): add live guards for MCP trust boundaries MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Static rules in mcpscan.rules catch tool poisoning, secrets, and command injection before install. Nothing catches the same classes of problem once an agent is actually talking to a live server: a tool loaded from a transport that was never scanned, output large/adversarial enough to blow the context window, or a previously-vetted tool whose description/schema silently changes between calls. Adds mcpscan/runtime/, three independent guards plus a facade: - sanitizer.MCPDescriptionSanitizer: screens text live using MCP002's own INJECTION/HIDDEN_UNICODE patterns (mcpscan.rules.tool_poisoning) as the single source of truth, so a static scan and a live check never disagree. - provenance.ProvenanceWrapper: caps and boundary-tags tool output before it re-enters agent context () — nothing in the static scanner does this, since it never executes a tool. - rugpull.RugPullLedger: SHA-256 fingerprints a tool's own description/schema across calls to the same server. Complementary to MCP014 (mcpscan.drift), which only fingerprints remote server *domains* across --discover runs; this covers local stdio servers too, and checks on every call rather than only via --discover. - guard.MCPToolGuard: composite facade over all three. None of these are wired into the static Rule/scanner pipeline — same reasoning mcpscan.drift.DomainDriftRule already documents for itself: a Rule is a stateless function of the files in front of it, but these need state that persists across live calls, or content that only exists at call time. 33 new tests (tests/test_runtime_*.py, unittest-style to match the existing suite). Full suite: 184 passed. Dogfood scan (mcpscan . --min-severity low) is clean — test fixtures containing literal trigger phrases/hidden Unicode are marked with the existing `# mcpscan: ignore[MCP002]` convention, same as test_scanner.py's own INJECTION regex regression tests. Local branch only — not pushed. --- mcpscan/runtime/__init__.py | 22 ++++++ mcpscan/runtime/guard.py | 72 +++++++++++++++++++ mcpscan/runtime/provenance.py | 73 +++++++++++++++++++ mcpscan/runtime/rugpull.py | 108 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ mcpscan/runtime/sanitizer.py | 81 +++++++++++++++++++++ tests/test_runtime_guard.py | 82 +++++++++++++++++++++ tests/test_runtime_provenance.py | 67 +++++++++++++++++ tests/test_runtime_rugpull.py | 119 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ tests/test_runtime_sanitizer.py | 118 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 9 files changed, 742 insertions(+) create mode 100644 mcpscan/runtime/__init__.py create mode 100644 mcpscan/runtime/guard.py create mode 100644 mcpscan/runtime/provenance.py create mode 100644 mcpscan/runtime/rugpull.py create mode 100644 mcpscan/runtime/sanitizer.py create mode 100644 tests/test_runtime_guard.py create mode 100644 tests/test_runtime_provenance.py create mode 100644 tests/test_runtime_rugpull.py create mode 100644 tests/test_runtime_sanitizer.py diff --git a/mcpscan/runtime/__init__.py b/mcpscan/runtime/__init__.py new file mode 100644 index 0000000..41086b0 --- /dev/null +++ b/mcpscan/runtime/__init__.py @@ -0,0 +1,22 @@ +"""Runtime guards: live defenses applied while an agent is actually talking to +an MCP server, complementing the static, pre-install scanning in `mcpscan.rules`. + +- `mcpscan.runtime.sanitizer.MCPDescriptionSanitizer` — screens tool metadata live, + reusing MCP002's detection engine (`mcpscan.rules.tool_poisoning`) as the single + source of truth so static and runtime judgments never diverge. +- `mcpscan.runtime.provenance.ProvenanceWrapper` — caps and boundary-tags live tool + output before it re-enters an agent's context.

Moved each marker back to a valid position; dogfood scan (mcpscan . --min-severity low) is clean again. Also applies ruff's PLE2515 fix: literal zero-width-space characters in test string literals are now backslash-u-200b escapes instead of invisible raw bytes in the source. --- mcpscan/runtime/provenance.py | 8 ++++++-- mcpscan/runtime/rugpull.py | 8 ++++++-- tests/test_runtime_guard.py | 26 ++++++++++++++++++++------ tests/test_runtime_provenance.py | 15 ++++++++++++--- tests/test_runtime_rugpull.py | 19 +++++++++++++++---- tests/test_runtime_sanitizer.py | 24 ++++++++++++++++-------- 6 files changed, 75 insertions(+), 25 deletions(-) diff --git a/mcpscan/runtime/provenance.py b/mcpscan/runtime/provenance.py index f0eadb5..bd2cbaf 100644 --- a/mcpscan/runtime/provenance.py +++ b/mcpscan/runtime/provenance.py @@ -42,7 +42,9 @@ class ProvenanceResult: class ProvenanceWrapper: """Wraps live MCP tool output in an explicit untrusted-content boundary tag.""" - def __init__(self, *, max_length: int = DEFAULT_MAX_LENGTH, tag_name: str = DEFAULT_TAG_NAME) -> None: + def __init__( + self, *, max_length: int = DEFAULT_MAX_LENGTH, tag_name: str = DEFAULT_TAG_NAME + ) -> None: self._max_length = max_length self._tag_name = tag_name @@ -70,4 +72,6 @@ def wrap(self, content: str, *, server: str, tool: str) -> ProvenanceResult: body = content[: self._max_length] + "...
