    Pi pod lets developers run coding agents in self-hosted sandboxes●Show HN: Pi pod – Run your pi coding agent in sandboxes on your own serverYhnScienceBiology1216 min ago

    A developer has released Pi pod, a tool for running the Pi coding agent in isolated sandboxes on your own server. The launch lets programmers give AI coding assistants a controlled environment on self-hosted infrastructure instead of third-party clouds, addressing privacy and cost concerns. It was shared on Hacker News, where it drew immediate attention from developers interested in self-hosting AI coding tools.

    Security flaw in MCP protocol puts AI agents at risk●MCP for agent-to-agent comms may be the riskiest protocol you've never heard ofYhnTechnologyCybersecurity641 min ago

    A newly reported vulnerability affecting AI agents from Google and other companies highlights a structural weakness in the Model Context Protocol, the emerging standard that lets AI agents communicate with tools and each other. Ars Technica reports the flaw exposes how trust between agents and connected services can be exploited. Cybersecurity researchers are debating whether MCP was designed too loosely for sensitive, agent-to-agent workflows.
