Gemini CLI 0.61.0 (Sept 24) now requires confirmation before editing recognized build files (package.json, Makefile, pyproject.toml, Bazel BUILD), before later build/test commands after those edits, and before shell commands whose args match untrusted web/MCP content—with no “always allow.” The same release stops mounting ~/.gemini into the sandbox and strips API keys and hooks from the in-sandbox settings copy.
Microsoft’s Sept 25 blog restructures Copilot around Home (Chat + Cowork with Office in Copilot), Code (GitHub Copilot–backed sandboxed app building), and Autopilot (ex Scout persistent agent). Home and Code start via Frontier in the coming weeks; Autopilot expands to private preview at month end…
Cloudflare’s Sept 24 changelog makes MCP server portals generally available: one Access gated endpoint for approved remote MCP servers, with tool, prompt, and resource logging. Since open beta they’ve added Gateway DLP routing, Code Mode token policies, static OAuth clients, service tokens for agents, session management, and Logpush…
Hex Rays’ Sept 25 post introduces a free open source IDA MCP server so agents can disassemble and decompile via Code Mode (IDAPython) with Claude Code, Codex, or Pi. It shares IDBs across agents and the GUI, runs headlessly with idalib, and cut token use 20% vs popular alternatives on their malware analysis benchmark…
Kong’s Sept 24 post adds a per–Dev Portal MCP server plus OAuth 2.0 PKCE so Claude, Cursor, and VS Code can discover and read pages and API specs without scraping HTML, under the portal’s existing auth and RBAC. It sits on agent ready markdown, Konnect MCP write access for portal content, and GA of the Dev Portal Toolkit…
A New Stack side by side on three hard reasoning problems found Opus 5.5 matched Opus 5’s answers while spending less—43% cheaper on a logic grid and 69% on a stone game—mostly from fewer output tokens. Measured write speed was only 11% faster, short of Anthropic’s 30% claim; both models still burned long token budgets with no answer on a combinatorial ordering task…
