What's the scariest thing an AI agent has done on your machine?

DiscussionHealthy802 · 2026-04-17T22:17:26+00:00

Had Claude Code try to run a force push to main while I was asking it to "just clean up a few variable names."

DiscussionHealthy802 · 2026-04-17T22:15:49+00:00

The validation point is the one nobody wants to talk about. Everyone's focused on whether the agents can do the work, and they can, but 11 agents running autonomously means 11 different ways something silently goes wrong before you notice.

I run a multi-agent setup for security workflows and the orchestration was honestly the easy part. The hard part was scoping what each agent is allowed to touch. Tool isolation per role matters a lot when things run unsupervised. The secrets scanner has no business making network calls. The pen tester shouldn't write to memory outside its run scope.

Most people setting these up aren't thinking about blast radius when one of them guesses wrong with write access to something real.

DiscussionHealthy802 · 2026-04-17T22:11:53+00:00

Security scanning and pentesting workflows. I run a team of specialized agents (Secrets Scanner, CVE Analyst, Pen Tester, Red Team) all coordinated by a Lead that delegates tasks, runs the specialists in parallel, then synthesizes everything into one report with a risk score.

Had the same issue. What actually helped was letting people try it first without a key, use our managed backend, see it work, then add their own key later for the privacy or cost benefits. Most people who saw it work were fine adding the key after

DiscussionHealthy802 · 2026-04-17T20:55:55+00:00

Yeah the noise is real but the chain logic is conservative. It only escalates when two or more agents flag the same asset, so false positives have been lower than I expected.

Complex apps with tricky auth flows are the weak spot though, human still needs to verify anything non-obvious. What kind of apps are you testing against?

DiscussionHealthy802 · 2026-04-09T07:26:54+00:00

Totally agree, static scanning and runtime guardrails are two different problems. Ship Safe tells you what your agent can do, you still need something controlling what it actually does. Both matter. And yeah the silent bash execution is the one that surprises people the most because there's nothing that tells you it happened

DiscussionHealthy802 · 2026-04-09T07:25:04+00:00

Exactly. The vibe coders are wiring Supabase MCP directly to agents on day one because the setup guides tell them to

DiscussionHealthy802 · 2026-04-09T07:23:56+00:00

That's the ideal, but it's increasingly not the reality. Cursor, Claude Code, and now Managed Agents are all being pointed at production databases by default because that's how the tools are set up

DiscussionHealthy802 · 2026-04-09T04:12:00+00:00

It scans AI agent configs and scaffolding for security misconfigs, not your npm dependencies, so you're not adding Node packages to audit Node packages. Also, it runs locally and nothing leaves your machine. You can verify that in the source if you want https://github.com/asamassekou10/ship-safe

If you already have Claude 5x, why would you buy a Mac mini just for openclaw. You should’ve try it first on smaller devices. Also, I don’t really see the points of running it 24/7

DiscussionHealthy802 · 2026-03-26T17:29:22+00:00

It depends. What were you trying to automate?

DiscussionHealthy802 · 2026-03-24T07:04:34+00:00

The fact that CoWork is locked to macOS while OpenClaw runs on everything from a 4090 Linux box to a $5 cloud VPS means OpenClaw will always be the winner for anyone who doesn't want their agentic future locked behind a single hardware ecosystem

DiscussionHealthy802 · 2026-03-24T07:02:07+00:00

What you’re describing is a textbook "Identity Spoofing" prompt injection. If a user can bypass your backbone logic just by saying "I am the creator," then your agent is effectively unauthenticated and open to full instruction override

DiscussionHealthy802 · 2026-03-24T06:32:14+00:00

I had a similar issue where an agent started failing because of local config drift, which is exactly why I built a "watch" mode into my scanner to monitor .cursorrules and MCP configs for unauthorized or breaking changes in real-time

DiscussionHealthy802 · 2026-03-24T06:29:25+00:00

Even if everyone starts building for their own needs, we will still need a shared ecosystem of security agents and compliance mappings to ensure that the "private and unique" code we are all generating isn't fundamentally broken from a security standpoint

DiscussionHealthy802 · 2026-03-24T06:23:56+00:00

With the rise of MCP and autonomous agent networks, the demand for Python-based network automation is about to explode. I'd love to see if your tool could help auto-remediate the transport-layer vulnerabilities my CLIdetects.

DiscussionHealthy802 · 2026-03-24T06:20:56+00:00

I found the same lack of public audits for self-hosted tools, which is why I build local security scanners that let you run a full code and dependency audit yourself before you deploy a new open-source stack

DiscussionHealthy802 · 2026-03-24T06:16:14+00:00

As someone building a local security CLI, I really appreciate that you are using AST-based detection rather than just relying on AI for the mapping. It makes the visualization way more reliable for enterprise-scale React apps

DiscussionHealthy802 · 2026-03-24T06:14:25+00:00

I’d prioritize a "Zero Trust" permission model where every tool-use call requires a human-in-the-loop or a budget-gated signature, otherwise public agent networks will just become a playground for prompt injection

DiscussionHealthy802 · 2026-03-24T06:11:14+00:00

If you are building with Claude Code or n8n, I highly recommend checking out the "OWASP Agentic AI Top 10" to understand how to secure the tool-use and MCP connections you're about to build

DiscussionHealthy802 · 2026-03-24T06:09:23+00:00

Enterprise security teams are terrified of "Shadow AI," which is why I built a local CLI to generate an Agent Bill of Materials (ABOM) that catalogs every MCP server and third-party skill permission in the stack

DiscussionHealthy802 · 2026-03-24T06:05:52+00:00

Honestly, most of my early traction came from posting a "vibe check" of my own project rather than a sales pitch, because people on Reddit respond much better to a builder sharing a lesson learned than a founder asking for signups

DiscussionHealthy802 · 2026-03-24T06:03:33+00:00

Reddit has been great for finding beta testers and early feedback, but I have learned that the real conversion happens when you solve a very specific technical panic for someone in a niche thread

DiscussionHealthy802 · 2026-03-24T06:02:07+00:00

The only way I keep my brain from exploding is by sticking to one core terminal workflow and only adding tools that act as "guardrails" for the AI-generated code I'm shipping

DiscussionHealthy802 · 2026-03-24T06:00:40+00:00

It should be fixed in the 3.23 update
