MCP — The Model Context Protocol — an open standard that lets any AI assistant plug into any tool or data source without custom integration code.
AI agent — An AI system that doesn't just answer once but works toward a goal in a loop — taking actions, reading the results, and deciding what to do next.
guardrails — The checks around a model that block bad inputs and outputs — filters, validators, and permission rules the model itself can't override.
