The idea: instead of connecting an LLM directly to multiple MCP servers, you point them all through a Gateway.
The Gateway:
- Connects to each MCP server and inspects their tools + requirements
- Classifies tools along the "trifecta" axes (private data access, untrusted content, external comms)
- When all three conditions are about to align in a single session, the Gateway blocks the last step and tells the LLM to show a warning instead.
That way, before anything dangerous can happen, the user is nudged to review the situation in a web dashboard.
We'd love for the HN community to try it out: https://github.com/Edison-Watch/open-edison
Any feedback very welcome - we'll be around in the thread to answer questions.
