AI agent standard adds security, cost controls for production readiness

An MIT-licensed Agentic Product Standard, v2.0, addresses critical gaps in deploying AI agents beyond simple demos. It emphasizes structural security over input/output filters, using Simon Willison's "lethal trifecta" to prevent data exfiltration by ensuring agents don't simultaneously access private data, process untrusted content, and communicate externally. The standard also implements supply chain security for model-generated tool definitions and introduces cost controls, such as token ceilings and model routing, to prevent runaway expenses. AI

IMPACT Provides crucial structural security and cost management guidelines for deploying production-ready AI agents.

RANK_REASON The cluster describes a technical standard and best practices for AI agents, not a product release or frontier model. [lever_c_demoted from research: ic=1 ai=1.0]

    Three checks that separate an agent demo from a production agent

    <p>Shipping an agent demo takes an afternoon. Shipping one that survives a quarter in production is a different job — and the gap is almost never the model. It's three boring things that are usually missing entirely.</p> <p>I maintain an open, MIT-licensed Agentic Product Standar…
