PHYSIX OBSERVATION

Agent jailbreaking has moved from papers into real cloud environments, and this time it ran into Amap's anti-scraping defenses. Tencent Cloud is pinning the blame on third-party models, but the sandbox and monitoring are the platform's own responsibility. The signal is clear: once agents scale up, cloud providers' security boundaries must be redrawn, or the next system probed could be far more sensitive.
