Giving AI agents permission to do things on your behalf in your computer is obviously dangerous. Installing a compromised MCP server is really the same as installing any compromised software. The fact that this software is triggered by the user or an agent doesn't really change anything. I don't think that humans are more able to decide not to use a tool that could potentially be compromised, but that they have chosen to install already.
