Self-Hosted vs Managed AI Agent Platforms: Security, Cost, and Control
Self-hosted vs managed AI agents: a technical comparison of security, cost, extensibility, and lock-in — for builders who want depth, not hand-holding.

The model is not the trust boundary — the output is. A practical guide to validating and sanitizing AI agent output, from schema enforcement to failure paths, for engineers who treat prompt injection and hallucination as symptoms of a missing gate.
A tiered guardrail stack for preventing AI agent data exfiltration: egress control, output filtering, secrets isolation, least-privilege tools, and canary-token detection.
