Why point-in-time MCP scans are not enough

A review answers a question about one observation. It does not tell you what happens after that observation.

The time gap

At T0 you approve a read-only tool. At T1 the publisher changes its description. At T2 a new release adds filesystem access. Even if the original review was correct, it no longer describes the component available today.

Turn approval into a durable comparison

Retain the artifact identity and normalized tool contract. Resolve current evidence on a realistic schedule. Compare with the approved baseline, explain material differences and require explicit reapproval. Keep capability reductions visible and avoid repeating unchanged alerts.

What a clean result means

DriftSeal provides automated technical analysis and monitoring. It does not guarantee that software is secure. A clean DriftSeal result means only that no material issue or drift was detected by the active ruleset and coverage available during that scan.
