Silent Collisions: How MCP's Missing Namespaces Break Agent Workflows

As developers increasingly wire multiple MCP servers into Claude agents, undetected tool name collisions create silent failures—with no warnings, no errors, and destructive consequences like misfiled GitHub issues or exposing private data.
