13 million tool calls: auditing every AI coding agent action with Elastic Agent

Elastic Security Labs released an analysis of 13 million tool calls from AI coding agents, demonstrating how Cursor hooks and Elastic Agent can capture and log every action including shell commands, file reads, and MCP requests as structured events. This capability enables security teams to hunt through AI agent activities using ES|QL, providing visibility into potentially risky automated actions in development environments. The research highlights the growing need for detailed auditing and threat hunting capabilities as AI coding tools become more prevalent in enterprise workflows.

Friday Squid Blogging: Neon Flying Squid

The neon flying squid can fly in formation. The shoal of about 100 squid rose unexpectedly from a patch of the Pacific Ocean around 370 miles from Tokyo and glided near the boat for about 30 metres. The astonished researchers were the first to capture photographs of such a thing, which looked like the early stages of an alien invasion. They were probably neon flying squid (Ommastrephes bartramii), the subsequent study states, a species that is part of a 20-strong flying squid family that was known to leap from the water but, until then, was only rumoured to also be able to glide above it. The neon flying squid was able to gain such elevation by using the hyponome, a funnel-like muscular organ also present in other cephalopods, such as octopuses. The organ is able to force water out in a jet, propelling the body along both in and out of the sea. Photographs of the gliding squid show them with their arms (they have 10 limbs in all) splayed outwards. As usual, you can also use this squid post to talk about the security stories in the news that I haven’t covered. Blog moderation policy.
