• Google Has 1,000 Platform Engineers Making Security Invisible. You Have Zero. Here's How Agents Close the Gap.

  The Era-3 agent model needs two things existing per-resource framework mods can't structurally provide: machine-verifiable compositional contracts (agents reason across resources, not within them) and an evaluation surface independent of the cloud-provider's SQL schema (so the agent reuses one reasoning vocabulary across AWS, GCP, Azure, K8s). turbot/steampipe-mod-aws-compliance ships ~540 controls across 16+ frameworks and is the right tool for "render me a CIS dashboard for the auditor" — its SQL is tied to live AWS APIs by design. Stave's CEL predicates + JSON-Schema-anchored snapshot + nine-engine export are the agent-consumable form: authorship-agnostic, provider-independent, composition-aware. Two surfaces, complementary jobs, both render in Powerpipe — see github.com/sufield/stave/blob/main/docs/comparison/aws-compliance-mod.md for the side-by-side.

• Don't Wrap the LLM. Make Its Failure Modes Unreachable.
  2 projects | dev.to | 27 May 2026

  I just finished an integration in the other direction. The AI-agent surface for Stave — the cloud-security reasoning engine I've been building solo — exposes its capabilities via a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. Agents call typed methods: search, diff, gaps, readiness, compliance. They get back structured data. There is no prompt. There is no free-text channel for the agent to inject into. The "guardrail" is the type system. The problem class of prompt injection is not mitigated. It is structurally unreachable. The architecture doesn't have the surface for the attack to exist.

• $5.4 Billion in Damage. 8.5 Million Machines Down. Three YAML Controls Would Have Prevented It. Here's the Structural Analysis.

  turbot/steampipe-mod-aws-compliance and similar framework-coverage tools render CIS / PCI / HIPAA / NIST benchmarks beautifully — per-resource property checks against live state. None of them would have caught the CrowdStrike pattern. The sensor binary passed every per-file check; the channel file passed every per-file check; the cultural contract between teams was the failure surface, and contracts between teams aren't per-resource properties. Framework mods are the right tool for "am I CIS-compliant right now?" and Stave's job is the producer-consumer-contract layer above. Install both; full comparison at github.com/sufield/stave/blob/main/docs/comparison/aws-compliance-mod.md.

• The contract is the interface: agent-driven Steampipe Stave in one command
  1 project | dev.to | 23 May 2026

  We don't ship a collector. Stave evaluates obs.v0.1 JSON snapshots — whatever produces them. That decision sounds extreme until you've watched the same "the collector doesn't see our environment" conversation play out three times. So instead of a collector, Stave ships a contract: per-asset JSON Schemas, per-asset Steampipe→Stave column mappings, and one command (stave contract show) that emits everything an agent needs to author its own ingest. The customer's preferred source (Steampipe, AWS Config, Terraform state, an internal inventory API) plugs in by satisfying the contract.

• Building a CLI for All of Cloudflare

  I will be adding support for Cloudflare for https://github.com/sufield/stave soon. Currently it supports AWS, Azure and GCP. I have been using AWS CLI for end to end testing. Where can I get support if I run into problems during development?
