When a Camera Becomes a Tool
A $60 edge vision device with an unauthenticated MCP server is not just a camera. In an agentic environment, it is a remotely callable perception tool. And that changes everything.
Why Agent Roles Should Be Separated in AI Systems
Context shapes reasoning. An agent that reads security research may absorb its framing and logic, influencing how it plans and acts. That is why role separation is becoming a security pattern for agentic AI.
