Microsoft Open-Sources RAMPART and Clarity to Secure AI Agents During Development

Microsoft has unveiled two new open-source tools called RAMPART and Clarity to assist developers in better testing the security of artificial intelligence (AI) agents. RAMPART, short for Risk Assessment and Measurement Platform for Agentic Red Teaming, functions as a Pytest-native safety and security testing framework for writing and running safety and security tests for AI agents, covering

Show HN: Dari-docs – Optimize your docs using parallel coding agents

It’s well known at this point that documentation needs to be optimized for AI agents - we’re all pointing our Claude Code / Codex / Pi agents at documentation, and expecting the models to figure out how to implement a product. This, however, changes the entire optimization problem when writing documentation. Good documentation now becomes more objective - you are solving the very concrete problem: can a dumb harness running the dumbest model implement this reliably? Humans can typically compensate for inconsistent terminology or scattered context across pages, but for agents, this often will waste time (or even just completely confuse the agent). We’ve been building a small project around this called dari-docs: users can upload their documentation via website or CLI and run agents across different providers to see where they falter. You can upload your documentation, feed a list of tasks, and ask agents with varying intelligence / cost levels to complete those tasks in parallel. When a
