A suspended user's agent run still wrote a file: an internal pilot
An internal pilot found a suspended user's agent run still wrote a file, because permissions were checked at request time, not per tool call.

- Agent permission checks at request time miss tool calls made after suspension.
- AgenticBench scored 25 coding agents on egress, telemetry and secret handling.
- Atuin Threads and Cindy let sessions and harnesses move between Claude Code and Codex.
- Search-API, extraction and agent-traffic benchmarks push teams to measure their own workloads.
- Oracle plans Cerebras inference on OCI; SageMaker adds SOCI-indexed images.
- Moonshot apologised for the Kimi K3.1 Pro launch; Qwen requests were found routed via Alibaba servers.
Agent security is the day's through-line: an internal pilot showed a suspended user's agent run still writing a file, and AgenticBench tested 25 coding agents on egress, telemetry and secrets. Several new tools respond by keeping credentials out of the agent entirely.
Elsewhere, Oracle plans Cerebras inference on OCI, and Moonshot apologised for a botched Kimi K3.1 Pro launch.
