Vercel Killed Its Flat $0.30 AI-Agent Fee — Here's the Exact Token Count Where the New Metered Rate Costs More
Vercel dropped its flat $0.30 AI-Agent fee on June 30, 2026 for a $0.25-per-million-token rate. The exact crossover is 1.2 million tokens — below it the new pricing is dramatically cheaper, above it there's no ceiling.

12-Factor Agents Is the New 12-Factor App: A Deploy Tool's Field Guide
Dex Horthy's 12-Factor Agents mirrors Heroku's 2011 methodology almost line for line. Here's what each of the twelve factors concretely costs a platform building MCP-exposed deploy and rollback tools for AI agents.
Coolify Shipped an MCP Server. It Still Can't Deploy Your App.
Coolify's official MCP server is strictly read-only — the write-capable 'AI deploys your app' story everyone cites comes from a third-party wrapper holding your API token. Here's the concrete tool-by-tool split, why it matters, and where bex's own MCP server stands on the same line.
Coolify's MCP Server Ships Read-Only: Dokploy Beat It to AI-Driven Deploys, and Neither Can Answer 'Is My Fleet Healthy?'
Coolify's new MCP server can't deploy anything yet — it's 10 read-only tools. Dokploy shipped a write-capable one a month earlier. Here's what both still can't tell an AI agent about a multi-node fleet.
JADEPUFFER Ran a Full Ransomware Kill Chain With No Human Involved — What That Means for Agents That Deploy Your App
An AI agent ran an entire ransomware attack end to end with no human directing a single step. Here's what that kill chain means for any platform whose own agent can deploy or restart your infrastructure.
Kata Containers vs gVisor: A RuntimeClass Decision Framework for Multi-Tenant Kubernetes
runC's 2025-2026 escape vulnerabilities settled the question of whether untrusted multi-tenant workloads need stronger isolation. This is the decision framework for which one, per workload, actually pays off.
Kubernetes Ships an Official Agent Sandbox Primitive: What It Actually Buys a Self-Hosted PaaS
Kubernetes SIG Apps shipped an upstream CRD for running untrusted AI-agent code safely — here's what it gives a Cluster API-based PaaS for free versus E2B, Daytona, and Modal, the real cost math, and what's still missing.
Kubernetes Wrote the AI Contribution Rulebook. Here's the Cheat Sheet for a One-Person PaaS
Kubernetes' new AI contribution policy leans on CNCF funding most projects don't have — here's which parts are free to copy, and what curl, Ghostty, and tldraw did without that budget.
MCP's Enterprise-Managed Authorization Goes Stable: What the ID-JAG Grant Fixes and What It Doesn't
MCP's Enterprise-Managed Authorization extension went stable in June 2026, killing per-server OAuth consent screens via a new ID-JAG grant flow — but it only governs connections, not individual tool calls, leaving per-action authorization for agent deploy/rollback tools squarely up to the platform.
