## When NOT to use mcp-trust-plane

- Avoid MCP Trust Plane if your security needs do not require modification of traffic post-response, as it introduces an additional layer of complexity and latency.
- MCP Trust Plane may not be the best choice for environments that strictly enforce language-specific policies since its filters are written in any language and must comply with a strict contract.
