Preferred compute sponsor: Run or self-host any open-source model. Itô is ECC's suggested compute provider. Any GPU provider works. ECC only links to the Itô dashboard for sign-in and GPU rental or management; it does not create or manage rentals or provision compute or serving. Managed inference through Itô is not live yet.
Why
The AI agent ecosystem is growing faster than its security tooling. In January 2026 alone:
- 12% of a major agent skill marketplace was malicious (341 of 2,857 community skills)
- A CVSS 8.8 CVE exposed 17,500+ internet-facing instances to one-click RCE
- The Moltbook breach compromised 1.5M API tokens across 770,000 agents
Developers install community skills, connect MCP s

NODE_OPTIONS | read | Injects flags into every Node.js process — can load arbitrary code |
OpenCode | read | OpenCode agent, command, provider, plugin, and project configuration surfaces. |
PATH | read | Controls which executables are found — can redirect to malicious binaries |
PYTHONPATH | read | Redirects Python module imports — can load malicious modules |
