Every Tool Is Also An Attack Path

AI agents become powerful through tools.

Browsers.

Databases.

Cloud infrastructure.

Internal systems.

MCP servers.

The challenge is that every tool creates a new pathway for influence.

If an attacker can manipulate the agent, they may indirectly manipulate the tools connected to it.

This changes how we think about security.

Tools aren't just capabilities.

They're potential attack surfaces.

As organizations deploy increasingly autonomous systems, tool security will become one of the most important areas of AI security.

This is one of the reasons we're building Crucible.

Pytest for AI Agents.
