Agentic Service Flooding

Fact

An attack where AI agents keep calling services until they run out of resources.

In Plain Words

It is like one kid taking every ticket at the deli counter. Each ticket is valid. Soon, nobody else can get served.

Attackers can flood open APIs with normal-looking requests. Rate limits, access rules, and alerts help stop it.
