Kiro's August 3 post describes replacing three diverging language-specific agent implementations with one standalone server process, so the harness and its clients need not share a language or runtime. Serves Kiro IDE 1.0, Kiro CLI v3, Kiro on web, and Kiro for iOS over Agent Client Protocol 1.0, extended with a custom WebSocket transport and a "Kiro-ACP" namespace adding 20+ agent-callable and 15+ client-callable methods under _kiro/. Permissions use Cedar, a formally verified policy language, grouping tools by capability (fs_read, fs_write, shell). Out-of-process harness plus formal policy language is a credible template if you're running one agent across CLI, editor, and mobile.

Six clients. One manifest. Zero vendor lock. Vercel published Agent Plugins 1.0.0 on August 6, an openly licensed spec that bundles Agent Skills and MCP servers behind a single portable manifest. The shape is deliberately boring: a plugin.json requiring only schemaVersion and...
AWS's August 21 post stages agent tool governance as Connect, Control, Catalog and Harden, from one SSO-backed MCP endpoint for a 1-20 user pilot through identity-aware authorization with PII redaction and self-service tool publishing at 100+ users. It supports Cognito-backed...
The June 12 release connects Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, VS Code, Amazon Q, and Kiro to pipeline, build, log, test, and workflow data over MCP. Agents can reason over CI state, like diagnosing a failing build straight from logs, without copy-paste. MCP is becoming the defau...
Sondera intercepts every shell command, file operation, and web request from coding agents and adjudicates them with Cedar — the same formal policy engine used by AWS. Unlike probabilistic LLM guardrails, these rules are deterministic. Rust binaries, stateful trajectory stores...
@ai-sdk/harness-cursor connects Cursor to the HarnessAgent interface through @ai-sdk/harness-acp over the Agent Client Protocol (Vercel). Instantiating is two lines and swapping the harness value changes which agent runs without touching application code. Coverage now spans Cl...
Cursor joined the Agent Client Protocol and is now available inside IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, and WebStorm — requiring only an existing Cursor paid account, no JetBrains AI subscription needed. ACP is an open protocol jointly developed by JetBrains and Zed to make AI coding agen...
