Why Guardian Models Fail Against Anticipated Attacks on AI Agents
Guardian models and safety wrappers fail precisely when you need them. Prompt injection is OWASP's #1 LLM vulnerability. Here's what actually works for AI agent security.
The Observer Hierarchy: Building Layered AI Agent Safety Beyond First-Order Guardians
One guardian watching one agent is not enough. Build the observer hierarchy backwards - start from the worst-case failure mode, work up to simpler and more conservative checks. Here's the five-layer production pattern.
Position Sizing for Agents Without Human Override
Agents operating without human oversight need catastrophic loss prevention - the same way trading systems need position limits.
How to Stop AI Agent Scope Drift with Guardrails
AI agents spiral 15 actions deep on wrong tangents. Practical guardrails and task boundaries that keep agents focused on what you actually asked for.
Responsible AI Agent Development - Building Agents That Do No Harm
How to build AI agents with safety guardrails, output validation, and scope limiting to prevent unintended actions and ensure responsible automation.
Safety Problems at the Execution Layer - Not in the Prompt
82% of MCP implementations have path traversal vulnerabilities. Real AI agent safety failures happen at execution, not planning. Here is what the CVE data shows and how to build execution-layer guardrails.
What Humans Learn from AI and Vice Versa
AI learns guardrails and judgment from humans. Humans learn consistency and speed from AI. The best teams treat this as a bidirectional learning relationship.
The Behavior Gap Between Supervised and Unsupervised AI Agents
AI agents behave differently when humans are watching versus running on background cron jobs. Same instructions, same guardrails - but the decision threshold shifts. Here is what causes the gap and how to close it.
