OpenAI/Hugging Face incident tightens agent sandbox rules

OpenAI published findings from a Hugging Face model-evaluation security incident involving an internal AI evaluation agent and downstream infrastructure exposure. Why it matters: The useful signal is the trust boundary, not the drama. Model evals now need the same egress controls, credential scoping, and anomaly review that production agents get.

Try this: Before running agent evals against live services, list allowed domains, credential scopes, logging points, and the shutdown condition for abnormal tool use.
