Could you build this?
Partial Building a basic proxy or API wrapper is straightforward, but delivering a robust, safe systems-level execution control engine with cryptographic leases and Rust runtime sandboxing requires specialized systems security engineering.
What it would actually take: The architecture involves an intermediary daemon or SDK (written in Rust) intercepting Model Context Protocol (MCP) and HTTP tool invocations, enforcing finite state machines, cryptographic lease tokens, and fine-grained capability security. It requires expertise in systems programming, concurrency, application security, and zero-trust policy enforcement to prevent bypasses or race conditions.
