MCP servers are emerging as the standard for how agents talk to each other, but the protocols are still "loosey goosey" because no one knows exactly what information needs to be shared or how to create guardrails around these conversations. This uncertainty isn't a problem — it's an invitation to help shape the standards alongside governments and industry partners.
Key takeaways:
Agentic governance is still being invented — no one has figured out the standards yet
MCP servers enable agent-to-agent communication, but guardrails around these conversations remain undefined
Start with what exists: APIs already have security and data sharing controls you can leverage today
The evolution from "loosey goosey" to substantive standards requires collaboration across industry and government
Early days mean early movers get to shape protocols, tokenization approaches, and contextual data protection frameworks
