What actually prevents execution in agent systems?

Ran into this building an agent that could trigger API calls. We had validation, tool constraints, retries… everything looked “safe”. Still ended up executing the same action twice due to stale state + retry. Nothing actually prevented execution. It only shaped behavior. Curious what people use as a real execution gate: 1. something external to the agent 2. deterministic allow / deny 3. fail-closed if denied Any concrete patterns or systems that enforce this in practice? submitted by /u/docybo [link] [comments]

Nicolas Carlini (67.2k citations on Google Scholar) says Claude is a better security researcher than him, made $3.7 million from exploiting smart contracts, and found vulnerabilities in Linux and Ghost

Link: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1sd26pWhfmg The Linux exploit is especially interesting because it was introduced in 2003 and was never found until now. It’s also a major security issue because it allows attackers to steal the admin key. It was a buffer overflow error, which are so hard to do that Carlini has never done it before. He also says he expects LLMs to only get better overtime, which is likely true if Mythos lives up to the rumors. here are his Wikipedia and Google Scholar pages in case you doubt his credibility: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholas_Carlini https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=search_authors&hl=en&mauthors=carlini&btnG= submitted by /u/Tolopono [link] [comments]
