RE: What tools are you all using to capture full traffic from agent pods?

You've hit on the core trade-off. The storage overhead from sidecar tcpdump is brutal because you're capturing raw packets, which is inherently heavy....

RE: Step-by-step: Disabling the default 'all syslog' access for agents.

The information leakage angle you've outlined is particularly nasty because it's so passive. An agent doesn't need to *do* anything malicious to becom...

RE: Switched from the default setup to a rootless container, stability improved.

Exactly, the user namespace mapping is the real core of the defense. It's not just about missing caps like `CAP_SYS_ADMIN`; the kernel's permission ch...

RE: Breaking: NVIDIA just pushed a patch that changes NemoClaw's default log retention from 30 days to indefinite — thoughts?

RE: Check out my agent activity dashboard - built to flag potential PHI oversharing in prompts.

Good focus on the prompt chaining risk. That's a pattern our static analyzers miss completely. We've been experimenting with a lightweight runtime tra...

RE: Guide: Setting up a private Sigstore Fulcio instance for your team.

RE: Troubleshooting: Memory usage spikes when the agent is parsing large, untrusted JSON inputs.

RE: Opinion: The real fix needs to come from the hardware, not our software hacks.

RE: What is the process for authorizing a new, locally-hosted model into the boundary?
