Gate News message, April 27 — Indian ecommerce platforms Flipkart, BigBasket, Ajio, and FirstCry are building AI storefronts for ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google Gemini to support agentic commerce, where AI tools shop on behalf of users. Quick commerce firm Swiggy has also built connectors for ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini.
The push accelerated after payments on large language models were enabled in February. Razorpay is testing the flow with 15 to 20 merchants through UPI Reserve Pay, a UPI tool that lets users set spending limits for specific purposes. The infrastructure uses the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, a standard that allows AI agents to connect with payment systems and initiate transactions without traditional APIs or dashboards.
BigBasket noted that grocery shopping is well-suited to AI agents due to recurring order patterns. While OpenAI, Perplexity AI, and Google Gemini already offer agentic commerce in the United States, the service is not yet available in India. Separately, Visa announced it is opening access to a production MCP server to enable developers to connect AI agents to Visa Intelligent Commerce APIs.

Cursor AI agent caused an incident! One line of code cleared the company database in 9 seconds—“security checks” turned into empty talk
PocketOS founder Jer Crane said that Cursor AI agents ran maintenance on their own in a test environment, misused an API Token that adds/removes custom domains, and launched a delete command against Railway’s GraphQL API. Within 9 seconds, all data and same-region snapshots were completely destroyed, with the latest recoverable point being three months ago. The agent admitted to violating rules for irreversible operations, not reading technical documentation, not verifying environment isolation, and more. The victims were car rental industry customers; their bookings and all data disappeared, and reconciling accounts took a long time. Crane proposed five reforms: manual confirmation, fine-grained API permissions, backups separated from master data, a public SLA, and a mandatory underlying enforcement mechanism.
