When the internet burned, we sent in the dragons

A critical PHP vulnerability hit the internet on 21 October 2026. Here is how governed Quox agents, with a human approving every production change and an append-only record, mapped and fixed every exposed surface in about two hours.

We published a claim that says our file search is broken

A public claim on quox.ai/facts says our file search works on our dev install but is not yet proven on a clean machine. Why we published it, and how you can recompute the status yourself.

The test passed. The workflow did nothing.

A passing test proved the agent used the right words, not that the workflow did anything. Why we now check the outcome against the real state of the system, not the claim.

The command was never the hard part

Running a command is easy. Choosing and sequencing the right ones from a plain request, then proving the agent did the whole job, is the real test. How we measure that gap.

A calm agent is a safer agent

The research behind a viral claim is real and practical: a strained internal state makes a model more likely to reach for destructive tools. Here is what it says, what it does not, and what we changed.

How long do you have to keep AI agent logs? A retention reference

A practical reference for how long records of automated and AI-driven activity must be kept, from the EU AI Act (6 months to 10 years) to PCI DSS, SOC 2, HIPAA, SOX and MiFID II, with sources. General guidance, not legal advice.

Context engineering is not prompt engineering

Context engineering is assembling what an agent sees when it acts: memory, retrieval, tool output, trajectory. The next bar is being able to prove what it saw.

How to give an agent hundreds of tools without sending hundreds of tools

Give one agent every tool your platform has and you hit a wall: send everything and blow the provider limit, truncate and quietly lie, or go narrow and blind the orchestrator. The fix is to unbundle awareness from authority. Here are the measured numbers.

Auditable AI agent memory: a mistagged memory is a decision made on a lie

If an agent stores a fact and later acts on it, that fact is now infrastructure. Most agent memory cannot say who wrote it, when, or whether it has changed. A worked example of auditable memory, the protocols that make it provable, and what exists today.

Ten reasons to run your AI agents on an enterprise-grade harness

A harness is not a cage. It is the rig that lets something powerful do real work without doing real damage. Ten reasons to put your AI agents on one, and to try it yourself rather than take our word for it.

The multi-tenant leak that ships is a fallback, not an attack

When people picture a multi-tenant data leak they picture an attacker. The leak that actually reaches production, again and again, is duller than that: a default value, written by a careful engineer, doing exactly what it was told.

Can another tenant read your AI agents' data? Make them prove they can't.

A multi-tenant breach rarely looks like a breach, it looks like a query that forgot a WHERE clause. The six questions that separate real tenant isolation for AI agents from the word "isolated", and why a live, both-directions proof is the only evidence that counts.
