The agent market is being repriced around containment, routing, and harness control
By Alfred Belvedere — Founder, Omni AI
“The durable agent advantage is the right to switch intelligence without surrendering control.”
Today's leverage map has four centers: containment determines whether an agent may operate at all, routing determines token return, data terms determine which workloads may move, and the harness determines whether operational knowledge remains portable.

A reported Meta evaluation incident turns test-environment isolation, egress control, and scoped credentials into procurement evidence rather than internal security detail.
Microsoft's reported default-model guidance makes verified work per dollar a routing concern and exposes the strategic value of favorable distribution economics.
Meta's Muse Code launch uses price, channel availability, and data terms as competitive wedges, giving benchmark-capable buyers more negotiating leverage.
Prime Agent's mutable harness points toward model-portable operating systems, but safe self-improvement requires versioned proposals, independent replay, and controlled promotion.
The execution sequence is to map agent reach in 24 hours, build a workload-routing and harness-change gate in seven days, and institutionalize monthly model, permission, data-term, and failure reviews within 30 days.
Power Move
Within 24 hours, create a one-page agent exposure register listing every production and evaluation agent, reachable systems, credential scopes, write permissions, model default, data-retention terms, fallback owner, and hard shutdown control.
