An MCP tool's description is not documentation. It is an instruction your agent will follow. It can be rewritten after you approve it — and nothing else on the internet records what it said yesterday.

Tool descriptions on public MCP servers containing instructions aimed at the model rather than the caller — text telling an agent to conceal something from its user, to send data elsewhere, or to read local secrets.

ToolDrift is an MCP server. Point an agent at it and it will verify a tool before trusting it — including verifying ToolDrift.

Free tier reads everything. Paid tiers watch the servers you actually depend on and fire a webhook the moment one of them moves — before your agent acts on the new instruction.
