Design of a Security Framework for Multi-Agent Systems Based on Model Context Protocol in SOC Environments

Abstract

Security Operations Centers (SOCs) rely on Level 1 analysts to triage increasing alert volumes amid alert fatigue and tool fragmentation. LLM-based multi-agent systems using the Model Context Protocol (MCP) are being adopted to automate these tasks, but their autonomy and tool access expose them to attacks such as tool poisoning, indirect prompt injection, and confused deputy exploitation. To address this gap, this work proposes a security framework for MCP-based multi-agent SOC pipelines, imple
