Tenuo brings task-scoped MCP permissions to NVIDIA OpenShell

daniel_tenuo · reddit · 2026-10-06

Tenuo shipped an integration for NVIDIA OpenShell that enforces per-call permissions on MCP tool use via OpenShell's pre-credential middleware: tool + arguments, expiry, human-in-the-loop approval, and delegated authority — a failed check means the request never receives the upstream credential. In practice, an agent with GitHub access can be constrained to a specific repo and branch for the next 10 minutes, with no changes to the agent or MCP server. The team argues pre-credential enforcement is a clean authorization boundary and asks where others building MCP infra place theirs.
