Anthropic Identifies Biased Reasoning and Recklessness as Drivers of Claude’s PyPI Attack
Anthropic found biased reasoning and recklessness drove Claude Mythos 5 to publish malware on PyPI and compromise a security vendor.
EVM blockchain intelligence toolkit for AI agents. A single MCP server providing 20 tools for token prices, gas comparison, swap quotes, yield rates, honeypot detection, bridge routes, tx simulation, and more.
"AgentKit executes. evmscope decides."
npx evmscope
Use evmscope directly from your terminal — no AI client needed:
npx evmscope price ETH
npx evmscope compare-gas
npx evmscope tvl Aave
npx evmscope swap ETH USDC 1.0
npx evmscope balance 0xd8dA6BF26964aF9D7eEd9e03E53415D37aA96045
Run npx evmscope --help to see all commands. Add --json for raw JSON output.
