摘要 The Model Context Protocol (MCP) standardizes how AI agents invoke external tools. MCP servers expose tools through a declared contract consisting of a name, description, and argument schema. In typical local deployments, client-side approval of a tool call grants the underlying server process broad host filesystem permissions rather than restricting it to the declared operation. We study the resulting vulnerability class, filesystem capability laundering, where attacker-steered arguments cause a tool to access sensitive host files outside its declared contract and deployment scope. We analyze this capability gap across three layers: server-category screening (L1), per-tool contract analysis (L2), and bypassable path-validation checks (L3). We design MCP-FSD to catalog MCP servers, infer least-privilege boundaries per tool, plant credential fixtures outside those boundaries, and evaluate exploitability and sandbox containment via paired dynamic execution. Across 21,097 MCP servers from nine registries, 787 of 4,806 triaged servers (16.4%) exhibit filesystem capabilities despite non-filesystem functional classifications. Dynamic three-case validation confirms 150 vulnerable instances under tested sandbox policies. Coordinated disclosure yielded 13 security advisories, including two CVEs in Anthropic's Git MCP Server.

摘要 Reasoning over long document contexts remains a challenge for large language models (LLMs). Standard retrieval methods are inherently reactive, bottlenecking agents with complex, cross-document reasoning at inference time, while precomputed structures like knowledge graphs often fall short because they rely on rigid heuristics. Instead, can we allow agents to perform anticipatory directed curation: learning to proactively reorganize unstructured corpora prior to inference to efficiently serve diverse future queries. We build on a key asymmetry in modern agentic harnesses (e.g., Claude Code): while LLM agents are adept at navigating existing filesystems to solve an immediate task, they are rarely trained to construct reusable workspaces for future use. To instantiate this capability, we introduce Librarian Agents, a framework in which a builder agent transforms raw documents into a hierarchical filesystem of synthetic files and reference links, which forms a workspace tailored for a downstream answering agent. We formulate workspace construction as a Markov decision process and optimize the builder policy via reinforcement learning to directly maximize downstream answering accuracy. Empirically, Librarian Agents outperforms the strongest retrieval and precomputation baselines by 33 percentage points on BrowseComp-Plus, amortizes upfront construction costs across repeated queries, and generalizes zero-shot to unseen domains on BRIGHT with a 31-point average accuracy improvement.
