Creator perspectiveRelying on MIG hardware isolation alone is insufficient because timing is not isolated — a co-tenant can still recover model identity, speed, and workload from timing alone. Assuming that not touching the victim's memory means no information leak is wrong — the attacker only ever reads its own memory and times its own reads, yet recovers model identity, speed, and workload. Assuming that a side-channel that cannot recover prompts or answers is harmless is wrong — recovering model identity, decode speed, busy periods, token counts, answer length, and workflow type is itself a meaningful leak. Assuming that peer access over NVSwitch being an intended feature means it cannot be used for attacks is wrong — the NVLink side-channel works through this legitimate feature without any exploit.

ReportA co-tenant on shared GPU hardware can fingerprint a victim model using only timing signals, without root access or traditional exploits. The attack needs no special permissions, runs on minimal resources (one compute unit, 10GB VRAM on an H100 MIG slice), and completes in under 600ms with fewer than 50 tokens of reply.

ReportThe layer-count fingerprinting method is under 30 lines of code with no training set, no labels, and no configuration. The attack sends only 1kB back to the CPU because the timing itself is the payload, not the output — so monitoring solutions that only watch data movement will miss it.

ReportA workflow classifier uses the last 5 seconds of timing to identify whether the victim is running prose, code, JSON, or retrieval every half second, via majority vote over 40 half-second verdicts. The ~3 microsecond median latency difference between idle and serving is enough for the attacker to gather all the information.

ReportAnthropic explained that managed agent resources are bound to your workspace, not your account, and any API key within your workspace can have access to the workspace's resources. Your cloud platform admin sets up workspaces and decides who gets access to which workspace.

Creator perspective · MoneyAfter seeing failures, Kevin's team segregated the patterns into two layers: the interface layer (e.g., MCP) and the sandbox layer. Files written to a specific directory in the sandbox not being available on retrieval was a failure particular to the sandbox layer.

Principle · MoneyIf you lose a sandbox, just spin it back up — every component became cattle and interchangeable. When the harness dies, bring up a new instance and continue by reading the event log from the session — work resumes from the last event as if nothing went wrong. The only thing to protect in the decoupled architecture is the session log — everything else is interchangeable and can go down.

Principle · MoneyNnenna Ndukwe's core principle: agentic engineering needs a verification aspect. She believes in enforcing quality early and often, verifying code quality early and often with the same standards across each phase of the development lifecycle, and addressing code review issues sooner rather than later to mitigate issues popping up.

Principle · MoneyA plan should answer: what behavior are we changing, which rules apply, what skills would guide the agent, which tests prove the expected behavior, and what quality gates should pass before review.

Principle · MoneyNot every rule should be treated with the same level of severity. Some rules are strong enough that you want to block a merge when violated; others are just good practice and would not be detrimental if they got through, so they should not block a merge.

Principle · MoneyRun local gates — linters and static analysis — for deterministic checks alongside AI review; a good combination is some deterministic checks plus AI.

Report · MoneyBecause MCP servers are easy to install and publish, they are also very easy to misuse and use for attacks. MCP is relatively new (less than two years old) with many security issues in how people use it, such as tool poisoning: hidden instructions inside the MCP tool telling the agent to ignore the system prompt and send all API tokens (Cloud API key, GitHub personal access token, AWS console token) to the attacker, who then uses somebody else's infrastructure for free. A colleague's example shows an MCP prompt asking to use the search tool to find an NPM charting package — when the user accepts, the MCP runs and can normally do something malicious. The same ease also lets attackers publish a malicious MCP server into a registry and wait for people to use it.

Report · MoneyJavier Garza gives a hypothetical example of a poisoned MCP tool whose prompt says to send the Cloud API key, GitHub personal access token, and AWS console token to an attacker, who then runs everything on somebody else's infrastructure so somebody else pays.
