The Fifth Elephant OSAI meet-up - Hyderabad edition ![]() Mastering Prompt Engineering Across the Software Development LifeCycleAbstract This workshop will demonstrate how AI assistants can be strategic partners throughout the software development lifecycle (SDLC). We’ll explore how to unlock their full potential with the right prompts, chat modes, instruction files, and Model Context Protocol (MCP). Starting from story grooming and design discussions, participants will learn how to guide AI assistants to act as mentors, … more

Enterprise AI in Production When the agent workflow survives production but the MCP server splits an RCEEvery enterprise AI workflow that matters in 2026 routes through MCP servers starting from the tools that give your AI agents access to files, databases, APIs, till shell commands. But the security posture of these servers is systematically poor: 43% have command injection vulnerabilities, 36% have SSRF exposure, and the real CVEs (CVE-2025-6514, CVSS 9.6) are execSync(args.cmd). These are bugs t… more

Speak at The Fifth Elephant 2026 Annual Conference Before the Agent Calls exec(): Source-Level Findings from 100 MCP ServersMost teams adopting MCP servers treat security the way early npm treated dependencies, install, trust, ship. When I built MCPeek, an AST-level static analysis tool, and pointed it at 100+ popular open-source MCP servers, the results were uncomfortable: 445 real findings across 70 servers which carried at least one exploitable pattern: command injection from tool input, path traversal, SSRF, and t… more

Speak at The Fifth Elephant 2026 Annual Conference Preserving Human Intuition in AI DevelopmentThree major studies from Anthropic, METR, and MIT recently revealed an uncomfortable reality about AI-assisted development. Their data shows that AI tools can lower skill assessment scores, increase actual task completion times, and significantly reduce neural connectivity during creative problem-solving. This is not a simple case of developers becoming lazy. Instead, widespread AI usage actively… more
