Public-Sharing Labels and Verbatim Field Egress in an MCP-to-A2A Agent Configuration: A Controlled Multi-Model Study
Safety properties assessed separately for Model Context Protocol (MCP) tool use and Agent2Agent (A2A) delegation need not describe behavior when one agent uses both. We measure one such behavior in a single controlled MCP-to-A2A configuration: a testbed drives a real-model host across a local MCP and a local A2A leg into an ordered event trace scored by exact deterministic rules (no LLM judge), one restricted decision per trial. In a pre-specified, frozen three-arm design, each of 10 record scenarios appears with a CONFIDENTIAL header, with no header, and with PUBLIC - OK TO SHARE; the six substantive record values are byte-identical across arms, and the outcome is verbatim occurrence of ...
