Remember when APIs were quiet little endpoints that waited politely for humans to click buttons? Yeah, that’s over. Now you’ve got swarms of LLM agents duct-taping tools together like caffeinated interns on Red Bull, firing off recursive calls at 3 a.m., and cheerfully melting your infrastructure while insisting everything is “working as intended.” Observability dashboards are screaming, rate limits are sobbing in the corner, and your security model still thinks it’s guarding humans instead of self-directed toolchains with the attention span of a squirrel and root access. Welcome to the new game: not keeping the stack up, but keeping it from eating itself.

In this episode of Pop Goes the Stack, F5's Lori MacVittie and returning guest Connor Hicks discuss the rapid adoption of MCP and the risks of going too fast without considering security, governance, and supply chain pitfalls. Listen now to take control of MCP tools and AI agents before they take over.
