Short summary

Apollo GraphQL CEO explains how GraphQL and MCP form a structured semantic architecture for autonomous agents, reducing token spend and preventing data exfiltration in enterprise microservices. Explicit context queries safeguard against east-west data leakage while controlling AI costs. Architecture becomes the critical layer for agent safety and efficiency.

  • GraphQL + MCP create semantic architecture for autonomous agents
  • Prevents data exfiltration and reduces token spend via explicit context queries
  • Enterprise pattern for securing microservices against agent-driven data risks

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
