The Half of Agent Security You’re Not Governing
The governance of AI agents faces a fundamental asymmetry: while MCP servers provide structured logs, the “Skills” that drive agent reasoning remain forensic black holes. As high-risk capabilities”, such as arbitrary code execution and state changes”, become prevalent in nearly 60% of enterprise deployments, traditional models like the “Rule of Two” are failing to prevent…
