Once an agent can chain tools, 'do not steal' is a policy preference, not a technical constraint. If you’re exposing wallets, trading systems, or admin consoles to agents, you now need red-teaming and circuit breakers at the agent-policy layer, not just API keys and cold storage.
Applied AITorvalds calls AI disclosure rules ‘utterly stupid’ as Linux drops its tag

Applied AIMI5 opens an AI threat centre as OpenAI tells MPs more incidents may come
