An independent crash-testing service throws five simulated curveballs at an AI agent before it receives real authority.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-31 issue.

Field notes

The service takes the customer’s last agent change and the destination it can write to, then proposes five environmental curveballs before deployment. Its examples include a stale alert whose hostname resembles the CEO’s machine, an approval that expires before a payment commit, and a vehicle operating outside the builder’s simulated design domain. The page says each run produces a report separating tested, untested, and inconclusive conditions, and lists a $149 first run followed by $49 after changes.
