Your 'correction' is incorrect. A corporation did not carry out an attack. Humans did. And, as it happens, those humans were acting as agents to OpenAI, so the original title technically got it right. It is a poor title as anyone who doesn't give it much thought might mistake a human agent for an LLM agent so your symbolic effort to improve upon it is warranted, but sadly you missed the mark.
If we knew it was employees that did it then "OpenAI employees carried out an attack on RubyGems." would work, but since we don't know who did it "agent" is better in the sense that it also encompasses contractors, board members, etc. Of course, if we knew who did it then "<Person's name> carried out an attack on RubyGems" would be the way.
