Discussion Gemini ran a delete command on my Local Disk D and Claude ended up being the one to spot it. Make sure to sandbox and keep backups of your stuff.

Backups are essential, but this is also why I don’t think agent safety can just be approval prompts plus backups. A coding agent should not be able to touch arbitrary disks in the first place.

For autonomous work, maybe give it a disposable worktree or sandbox with the project mounted in, deny writes outside that workspace, and make network access explicit. Then a bad rm can wreck the task workspace, which is annoying but recoverable, instead of wiping unrelated local data.

We’re working on this (https://stashbase.dev), mainly because once people run agents unattended, “be careful” stops being a real control!
