Session Type: Talk

We created a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server game about running a soft drinks business, designed to look to a Large Language Model like a real business, not a game. This is the story of what happened when different LLMs were connected to it and prompted to do bad things.

Tool use by LLMs has increased dramatically recently, especially with the rise of MCP. The number of anecdotes and papers about unexpected or misaligned tool use has also been growing. We will take a look at some of these, along with how we created our MCP game and how different LLMs interacted with it when prompted in different ways.
