Microsoft joins multi-AI agent fray with Magnetic-One

Abstract

The four other sub-agents inside Magnetic-One include WebSurfer, FileSurfer, Coder, and Computer Terminal. The Computer Terminal agent, meanwhile, gives the multi-agent system access to a console shell where Coder’s programs can be executed and new programming libraries can be installed. Microsoft warned potential users of Magnetic-One to take precautions, including running the agents in containers to isolate them and prevent any direct attacks, and monitoring logs closely to detect and mitigate risky behavior of agents. [...]it warned developers against giving the agents access to sensitive data or any resources that stand a chance of being compromised.
