AI agents are increasingly deployed to execute important tasks. While rising accuracy scores on standard benchmarks suggest rapid progress, many agents still continue to fail in practice. This discrepancy highlights a fundamental limitation of current evaluations: compressing agent behavior into a single success metric obscures critical operational flaws. Notably, it ignores whether agents behave consistently across runs, withstand perturbations, fail predictably, or have bounded error severity.
Key contributions:
> 1. A formal taxonomy and metric suite: We translate qualitative safety-critical principles into computable metrics, enabling evaluation of agent reliability independently of task success.
>2. A comprehensive reliability profile of modern agents: A detailed mapping of where state-of-the-art agentic models succeed and fail, isolating consistency and predictability as the dimensions requiring immediate research focus.

Raspberry Pi's share price surged after an X post linked the AI agent OpenClaw to increased demand. The article discusses the reasons behind the surge, the current state of Raspberry Pi hardware, and the security concerns surrounding OpenClaw.
NIST is launching a new project around standards for artificial intelligence agents, seeking feedback on the secure use of the rapidly evolving technology. The initiative focuses on security concerns arising from the autonomous nature of AI agents and aims to foster interoperability and public trust. It includes a request for information on AI agent security and a draft concept paper on software and AI agent identity and authorization.
Despite initial excitement and a viral moment, some AI experts are questioning the usability of OpenClaw due to inherent cybersecurity flaws. The article details the vulnerabilities discovered in Moltbook, a social network built on OpenClaw, and explores whether the technology's access and productivity benefits outweigh its security risks.
nmapUnleashed is a CLI wrapper for Nmap that adds multithreading, a persistent dashboard for real-time monitoring, automatic timeouts, and merged outputs for easier post-analysis. It supports various target specifications and presets for streamlined scanning.
Logs, metrics, and traces aren't enough. AI apps require visibility into prompts and completions to track everything from security risks to hallucinations.
This document provides guidelines for maintaining high-quality Python code, specifically for AI coding agents. It covers principles, tools, style, documentation, testing, and security best practices.
A technical overview of intercepting and decoding satellite communications, detailing hardware, software, and techniques used for signal acquisition and decryption.
Security researcher BobDaHacker discovered multiple critical vulnerabilities in the Petlibro smart pet feeder system. The most severe is an **authentication bypass** allowing attackers to log in to *any* account using publicly available Google IDs. Petlibro acknowledged the issues and offered a $500 bounty, but has left the vulnerable login endpoint active for "legacy compatibility" over two months after initial reporting, despite promising a fix.
Other vulnerabilities included:
* Viewing details of any pet by ID.
* Obtaining serial numbers and MAC addresses.
* Manipulating feeding schedules, camera feeds, and settings without authentication.
* Retrieving mealtime messages recorded by owners.
* Gaining access to devices by adding oneself as a shared owner.
