The moment the problem becomes real usually looks something like this: an engineer connects an AI assistant to a NoSQL database, such as MongoDB, through an MCP server or a similar tool-calling interface. At the time, they consider it safe to grant the AI direct authentication with their own credentials instead of using best practices such as delegated authorization. It takes twenty minutes. The agent can now query live data, return results, and feed them into whatever workflow it's part of. Nobody updates the access policy, scopes the authorization down, or asks what the agent can actually reach.Mon, 29 Jun 2026 09:40:00 ESThttps://www.dbta.com/Editorial/News-Flashes/LucidLink-MCP-Server-Targets-Agentic-AIs-Data-Layer-Gap-175504.aspxhttps://www.dbta.com/Editorial/News-Flashes/LucidLink-MCP-Server-Targets-Agentic-AIs-Data-Layer-Gap-175504.aspxLucidLink is introducing the?LucidLink MCP Server?in public beta, opening its infrastructure to every agent pipeline so agents can connect to tools and data sources.
