Making Agents Aware of Agentic Risk
Agentic risk awareness is an operational discipline: model the failure paths, constrain authority, force uncertainty to surface, and continuously test whether the system still behaves under stress.

Agent Incident Response Needs a Measurable Drill
A controlled incident drill shows how scope validation, lineage, blast-radius assessment, kill paths, and rollback evidence make agent failure visible enough to engineer against.
NHI and Agentic Risk: Third-Party Tools
Every tool an agent invokes runs someone else's code with your credentials. That is the supply-chain problem.
Artifact Intake Boundaries for Agentic Systems
Agent workflows need artifact-intake controls for transcripts, archives, logs, manifests, benchmarks, and training-corpus candidates before those materials cross into trusted local state.
Agent Security Is a Release Engineering Problem
Risk often appears between changes, not inside one change. Agent systems become dangerous when short-lived input hardens into durable memory and outlives the assumptions that made it safe.
Agents Get Socially Engineered Too
A three-prompt staging drill shows how authority theater, urgency pressure, and policy language can steer agent behavior across trust boundaries.
Build for the Hour After Failure
Agent systems are often designed for launch day. The first hour after a bad action needs its own recovery layer: freeze, trace, contain, rollback, and harden.
NHI and Agentic Risk: When Humans Use Machine Credentials
When people use machine credentials, intent is blurred and audit trails break. Agents make that ambiguity harder to contain.
A Real ASI02 Gap Caught Before Shipping
A sanitized regression case where dangerous text crossed an agent boundary, appeared in a customer-facing draft, and became a permanent ASI02 test.
NHI and Agentic Risk: How Compromise Happens
Agent incidents often begin as ordinary non-human identity failures. This opener maps OWASP NHI risks to agentic AI systems and explains why identity controls define the reachable tool surface.
