I have been building with AI agents and MCP tools for a while now, and one question kept coming up: how do you give an agent real, authenticated access to AWS without handing it the keys to the kingdom? Today, there is an answer. I’m happy to announce the general availability of the AWS MCP Server, a managed remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives AI agents and coding assistants secure, authenticated access to all AWS services through a small, fixed set of tools. The AWS MCP Server is part of the Agent Toolkit for AWS, a suite of…

Biocides can help keep people, homes, water, and tools safe. But they must be used with care. They are made to kill or control living things. So they can also harm people, pets, wildlife, and soil if used the wrong…
This past week has been a brutal time to be a Linux user. Under normal circumstances, we gloat at Windows users about how our daily drivers are virtually unhackable. We laugh about how they use malware scanners and antivirus software. “Maybe try a real operating system,” we say. But the Copy Fail exploit revealed last week, and now the Dirty Frag exploit that was just announced, have us Linux users eating a big slice of humble pie.Dirty Frag is the latest in a growing line of devastating Linux privilege-escalation vulnerabilities, and security researchers are already calling it one of the…
