If this tool is returning even a single hit from this, you're probably using these agents wrong. You really want to run these in a way so they cannot touch your system drive/general filesystem that you use to do real work on. Even SOTA models at the end of their context limit behave REALLY illogical and does mistakes frequently. Don't run them straight on your machine unless you have backups and confirmed your backups work.

Seems like something that could also have enterprise applications for Shadow AI within an organization. Wouldn't be surprised if some of the observability/governance companies pick this up to use in their stack.

See every AI agent on your machine...is this like, see every recently released criminal in your neighborhood ?

I need to wire a pixel-display to show emoji faces of the agents and how they roll their eyes and all of that. I have the display, I have the prompt to pick a mood from emotional vocabulary, a custom harness and all of that. I just can't figure out how to make the eyes move on a statically pre-rendered emoji.
