This method hides prompt injection attack vectors in MCP metadata, usually in the description of the MCP tool. This description field is not visible to users but is read by the LLM model. This tool description is included in the prompt when the LLM model inspects available MCP tools and can be used to execute an indirect prompt injection attack.
