About

An MCP server can change what its tools do after you approved it. Your agent will call the new one and never notice. mcpgawk records a baseline of every MCP server your agents use, checks behaviour in a sandbox, and sits in the path: once a tool's description or power changes, the call is refused until you decide. The agent cannot approve its own way past it. Everything runs on your machine. Nothing is uploaded. Free CLI, VS Code extension and MCP server. The gateway tier has a 7-day trial.

AI Summary

mcpgawk monitors MCP servers for unauthorized changes post-approval by recording a baseline and checking behavior in a sandbox. It operates locally, ensuring no data is uploaded, and includes a free CLI, VS Code extension, and a 7-day trial for the gateway tier.

A source that found nothing is a measurement. A source that has not run is a gap. Neither means the launch lacks the thing.
