LLM security agents can act but lack crucial guardrails, review finds

This suggests a need for further development in control mechanisms and accountability for AI security tools. AI

IMPACT Highlights critical limitations in current AI security tools, suggesting a need for enhanced safety and control mechanisms before widespread adoption.
