Exposure Scopes Explained
Agent & MCP
Available to both:- Agents - Used in agent-powered interactions and automations
- MCP Gateways - Exposed via the Model Context Protocol to MCP clients
Agent Only ⚠️
Available ONLY to agents:- Computer - Too sensitive for MCP gateway exposure
- Cannot be attached to MCP gateways
- Reserved for direct agent control
- Enforced at multiple layers:
- Code-level type system
- Runtime gateway validation
- UI/form restrictions
- Per-capability guards
