Meta is reportedly seeking to help define industry standards governing how autonomous AI shopping and commerce agents operate safely. The move comes amid reports that Meta's own Muse agent has faced multiple privacy and security issues in the less than a month since its launch.
A researcher stress-tested Meta Muse, the personal AI agent Meta launched on September 8, 2026, by asking it to spawn 120 subagents simultaneously through the exposed subagent.spawn interface. Only 33 of the 120 calls successfully created an agent, while the remaining 87 failed, and durable trace data showed six database lock timeouts during the process. The author later added clarifications and outside architectural context but did not alter the underlying experimental data.
