The new Agentic Resource Discovery standard aims to make it easier for AI agents to discover, verify and use tools, skills, MCP servers and other agents across the web. As AI agents become more capable, one challenge is becoming increasingly obvious: how do they reliably find the right tools to use?

GitHub's new public preview lets teams define AI-driven repository tasks in Markdown, combining coding agents with the controls and infrastructure already used for GitHub Actions. GitHub is expanding the role of AI inside software development workflows with the public preview of GitHub Agentic Workflows.

A newly disclosed Visual Studio Code vulnerability has raised concern among developers and organisations that rely heavily on GitHub and browser-based coding environments. The issue affects VS Code's webview implementation and could allow attackers to steal GitHub OAuth tokens by tricking a user into clicking a malicious link.

GitHub has confirmed a serious internal security incident involving around 3,800 of its own code repositories. According to the company, the breach began after an employee's device was compromised through a malicious Visual Studio Code extension, allowing attackers to steal credentials and gain access to internal GitHub repositories.

AI coding assistants are usually talked about as productivity tools. They help autocomplete functions, explain code, generate tests, and clean up repetitive work. But their influence may be going further than that. They are not just affecting how developers write software. They may also be shaping which programming languages developers choose in the first place.
