Summary

AEGIS maps heterogeneous MCP tool arguments into a common resource-policy representation.

The proposed enforcement layer uses a language model to normalize text, image, video and location requests before Open Policy Agent rules evaluate them. The paper focuses on cross-domain resource abuse such as excessive search radii or long generated videos; it presents an architecture and integration, not evidence that every attack will be detected.
