The proposed alternative, called 'agent immunization', argues security should be built into what an agent consumes, builds, and ships rather than bolted on from outside: nothing is trusted by default, enforcement happens at the point of action, and every action traces to a scoped identity. Human review of every pull request doesn't scale once agents generate hundreds of changes a day, so trust needs to be embedded in the workflow itself to allow safe autonomy at scale. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.

That supply-chain surface is exactly where I got burned, so I now vet every MCP server before it touches an agent.
