It sounds like the start of a bad joke… or perhaps a confusingly awesome dream. A Physical Therapist, ex-collegiate track athlete, Ivy league grad, Youth Pastor, and some dude with a PhD start having a conversation about cholesterol. And then you realize all those guys are THE SAME GUY, and that guy takes you on a whimsical pilgrimage that results in YOU having a framework for NOT having heart attacks, strokes, and dementia.

Are your autonomous AI agents quietly creating your organization's biggest security vulnerability? In 2026, the Model Context Protocol (MCP) revolutionized how Large Language Models like Claude, Gemini, and GPT interact with proprietary enterprise data. Developers rapidly rushed to build and deploy MCP servers, connecting artificial intelligence directly to internal APIs, highly sensitive PostgreSQL databases, and mission-critical cloud infrastructure. But there is a critical, systemic problem: Most of these rapid deployments lack fundamental security controls. When autonomous agents are ...

You didn’t save time, you just started managing AI. You try to get AI to do something. You write a prompt, expecting it to handle the task. It gives you an answer… but it’s not really what you wanted. So you tweak it. Add a bit more detail. Try again. Now there’s another issue. Something still feels off. So you adjust it again. Rewrite parts of it. Clarify what you meant. And it keeps going like this. Each time, you get a little closer… but never quite there. So you step in again—guiding it, correcting it, fixing it. Before long, you’re constantly tweaking and micromanaging ...

Harness Engineering is a practical guide to designing secure control planes for long-horizon, multi-agent AI systems.

In 1983, Thomas Silverstein and Clayton Fountain, both serving life sentences at the U.S. Prison in Marion, Illinois, separately murdered two correction officers on the same day. The Bureau of Prisons condemned both men to the severest punishment that could legally be imposed, one created specifically for them. It was unofficially called "no human contact." Each initially spent nine months in a mattress-sized cell where the lights burned twenty-four hours a day. They were clothed only in boxer shorts, completely sealed off from the outside world with only their minds to occupy their time.

Agentic AI is transforming software from passive, request-response models into autonomous systems that plan, reason, and act across extended horizons. These systems operate with delegated intent, dynamically selecting tools, composing workflows, and adapting in real time. In doing so, they introduce a new attack surface where identities are ephemeral, behavior is probabilistic, and execution is continuous. Traditional control planes built for static services and human-initiated actions are no longer sufficient. This book delivers a technical blueprint for securing agentic systems end to end...
