Governing AI agents inside the execution loop
Snyk's Evo Agentic Development Security, in open preview since June 23, 2026, hooks directly into an agent's tool calls — proof that pre-deployment review can't govern a decision made mid-session.
Deep dives, practical guides, and incident analyses from engineers who build Safeguard. No fluff, no vendor FUD — just what you need to ship secure software.
Snyk's Evo Agentic Development Security, in open preview since June 23, 2026, hooks directly into an agent's tool calls — proof that pre-deployment review can't govern a decision made mid-session.
CVE-2025-6514 let a flawed MCP proxy escalate to full remote code execution — a preview of why AI/agentic risk needs its own budget line, not a slice of the AppSec line.
Snyk found 76 confirmed-malicious skills among 3,984 analyzed and roughly a third of public MCP servers carrying exploitable flaws — legacy AppSec never modeled an agent as the author.
Claude's May 2026 enterprise and desktop expansion put MCP tool calls in front of compliance teams and IDEs alike — governance can no longer be an afterthought.
Snyk analyzed nearly 10,000 real developer environments and found 43% run 2+ AI coding tools at once — with MCP servers and skills quietly widening the attack surface.
LayerX's October 2025 CometJacking attack siphoned Gmail and Calendar via one Perplexity Comet click. The browser-as-agent design is the new blast radius.
Your AI supply chain is not just your npm dependencies anymore. It is the models you download, the weights you load, and the datasets you train on — and each is an attack surface most software security programs have never inventoried.
Safeguard's MCP server exposes 650+ tools. Here's how per-tool feature flags keep each tenant scoped to exactly what it needs — with safe defaults and a fail-safe that narrows, never widens, on error.
AI coding assistants are in nearly every IDE now. Banning them fails; trusting them blindly fails harder. The middle path is guardrails — technical controls that let assistants move fast without letting them ship the wrong thing.
