AI-Assisted Engineering Security

AI coding agents offer significant productivity gains but must be treated as untrusted execution inputs.

Security Controls

• Explicit Boundaries: AI agents are never granted production deployment or direct push permissions.
• Prompt Injection Defense: Untrusted text from issues and PRs is sanitized before ingestion into agent contexts.
• Sandboxed Execution: Agent-generated commands execute in isolated, non-privileged environments.
• Human in the Loop: Final merge and release decisions remain exclusively with human maintainers.
