Security workstreams

Security is a workstream within the Partner Program. These are the areas your package can accelerate — each scoped and costed before sale, with example outputs like these.

Safer command execution

Hardens how agent environments execute shell commands: allowlists, sandboxing behavior, injection resistance and clear failure modes. Work is scoped to an agreed set of commands and harnesses, with reviewed test cases landing in the public suites.

Example output: reviewed command test cases and protection improvements for an agreed command set.

Plugin and MCP supply-chain security

Builds reproducible evaluation of third-party plugins and MCP servers: provenance, install-time behavior, update paths and maintainer guidance. The emphasis is on measurements others can repeat, not one-off audits.

Example output: a reproducible supply-chain evaluation plus maintainer guidance for a plugin family.

Reproducible testing and compatibility

Keeps the compatibility matrix honest across harnesses, models and platforms. Funded work publishes the test matrix, the runner configuration and the failures — including the ones that do not get fixed in the same cycle.

Example output: a published, reproducible compatibility test matrix for a chosen harness set.

Open implementation guidance

Turns hard-won operational lessons into public reference integrations and guides that smaller teams can adopt directly. Everything produced is open source and reviewed, with workshops to transfer the practice.

Example output: a reference integration plus a hands-on workshop for adopting it.

The first 90 days

Every package follows the same onboarding pattern. This is how work starts — not the billing duration of the package.
