Friends don't let friends use agentic tooling without sandboxing. Take a few hours to setup your environment to sandbox your agentic tools, or expect to eventually suffer a similar incident. It's like driving without a seatbelt.

Consider cases like these to be canaries in the coal mine. Even if you're operating with enough wisdom and experience to avoid this particular mistake, a dangerous prompt might appear more innocuous, or you may accidentally ingest malicious files that instruct the agent to break your system.
