AI models and agents

MCP

Also known as: Model Context Protocol

An open standard connecting AI applications to tools, data, and capabilities provided by servers.

A practical example

An assistant uses a brand report reading tool.

What should I know?

An MCP connection alone does not grant unlimited account access.

AI models and agents in practice

A model processes information; the application defines tools and permissions. Reliable answers require good sources and verification. Actions involving accounts, content, and orders must stay within the granted scope.
