What Makes a Good Security Agent? 5 Lessons From the AgentWorks Hackathon
CrowdStrike, Monday, November 2nd, 2026
CrowdStrike shares winning agents and five lessons from its first AgentWorks Hackathon for security agents built on Charlotte AI AgentWorks.
Charlotte AI AgentWorks is CrowdStrike's no-code workspace for security teams to build custom agents on the Falcon platform.
Run with NVIDIA, the hackathon drew nearly 100 nominations from more than 50 countries.
One winner, Agent Smith, finds MCP servers on endpoints, checks them against an approved list and reviews redacted command lines for risky settings, after one company found 1,710 hosts running unapproved MCP servers.
CrowdStrike highlights design lessons such as dividing work between the model and deterministic tools to improve accuracy and control cost.
