If you cheat using an "agent" using an "MCP server", it's still rm -rf on the host, but in a form that AI startups will sell to you.

MCPs are generally a little smarter than exposing all data on the system to the service they're using, but you can tell the chatbot to work around those kinds of limitations.

Do you know that most MCP servers are Open Source and can be run locally?

It's also trivial to code them. Literally a Python function + some boilerplate.
