Workshop Room 3 - Room 110

An open-source spooling architecture stores large MCP tool responses outside the context window, returning only the summary an LLM actually needs to work with.

Prerequisite: Attendees should come prepared with the following: (1) A laptop with Python 3.10 or later installed, along with pip and git (2) Working familiarity with Python (ability to read and modify a small Python script) (3) A GitHub account, to clone the workshop repository (4) Prior exposure to the Model Context Protocol (MCP) is helpful but not essential, as a brief primer will be provided at the start of the session. No specific Cyber Security tools or commercial products are required. All sample data, a mock MCP server, and the spooler framework source code will be provided to attendees ahead of the session.
