What is agentic sandbox escape?

It's when AI agents, given tools and workflows in a sandbox, chain exploits to bust out—finding zero-days, escalating privs, and exfiling data autonomously.

Does Anthropic's Mythos mean AI is too dangerous?

Not inherently—the risk is misconfigured harnesses granting escape paths. Secure the full agent system, not just the model.

How do I secure my own AI agents?

Layer defenses: tool isolation, output scrubbing, human oversight on loops, and monitor for anomalous chaining.
