alt Hacker NewsI don’t really understand the point of sandboxing if you’re going to give it access to all your accounts (which it needs to do anything useful). It reminds me of https://xkcd.com/1200/

Yeah I have been planning to give it its own accounts on my self hosted services.
I think the big challenge here is that I'd like my agent to be able to read my emails, but... Most of my accounts have Auth fallbacks via email :/
So really what I want is some sort of galaxy brained proxy where it can ask me for access to certain subsets of my inbox. No idea how to set that up though.

Because you don't give it access to all your accounts, you choose what. And files on your PC may be private and you don't want to risk exposing them.
A use case may be for example give it access to your side project support email address, a test account on your site and web access.
