⚠️ Security Notice
1. Authentication keys and credentials are never shared with the model. They are used only by the MCP server to authenticate with your Check Point management system.
2. Only use client implementations you trust. Malicious or untrusted clients could misuse your credentials or access data improperly.
3. Management data is exposed to the model. Ensure that you only use models and providers that comply with your organization's policies for handling sensitive data and PII.
📊 Telemetry and Privacy
