- What happened
- Google released Agent Development Kit guidance for building AI agents with zero-trust security using cryptographic signatures, code sandboxing, and semantic gateways.
- Why it matters
- Engineers building autonomous agents that access databases, APIs, or execute code need these patterns to prevent prompt injection attacks and unauthorized state mutations.
- Watch out
- System prompts alone cannot enforce security; these patterns require infrastructure support like Cloud KMS, gVisor, and CI/CD testing to work effectively.

The patterns behind this
- Zero-Trust Agent Architecture
- Blast-Radius Containment & Autonomy Bounds
- Eval-Driven Development (Agent CI)
Each one covers how the technique works, when it earns its cost, and where it breaks.
