That means it can push to your private repos on GitHub, for example.

Besides the open source, any reason why I should use secretive over 1P?
- someone trying to be better about security no matter how annoyed.
Same for [devpod](https://devpod.sh/) for sshing to devcontainers. They are particularly annoying because they just dump it into your config. Use an include statement to your own file for goodness sake.
It was often not ideal in the old world. Now agents are doing everything in those boxes, it is kind of mad.
I have my own utilities now for managing these sockets and files now to deal with this stuff.
There may be some limited form of whitelisting, but often it is just a facade, as it is very coarse-grained. So, with tools with very broad capabilities (ssh, kubectl, gcloud, etc) you end up with the agent performing unwanted actions.
Do not let these things loose on your computer.
As others have said, it looks like the primary way the Major LLM Manufacturers have chosen to control these things is with a combination of great big blacklists and voluminous pleading, begging, and scolding. Most of us know the problems both with enumerating badness and with attempting to appeal to something that's incapable of care, sympathy, or shame.
[0] For another example of this principle, go read the recent Jepsen report on ParticleDB.
Whoever told you AI has solved security was hallucinating.
But codex <> chat merge is what they're giving as the "real reason" for what actually is raising prices (a LOT, I might add) for all the subscriptions. Nobody wants it (certainly not applied globally to everything like it is), but they're still going to do it. I even know someone who works at OpenAI and there's apparently a few people trying to fight it at least internally.
Given Sam Altman's speech about how he wants OpenAI pricing to work, I don't think this can be stopped. Btw: that is that you type something into ChatGPT and instead of subscription or per-token cost or anything like that, as soon as you type something in, anything, the way he sees it, ChatGPT would give you a cost for that specific answer and you'd agree or not.
I just feel like this guy is an even worse example of not seeing the viewpoint of a normal (you know non-millionaire) person than even Google's leadership. Can I just say "I think Google is going to win from Altman", you know, despite OpenAI having the far superior technology. Because if there's one guy in the whole world that can destroy the advantages of OpenAI's engineering accomplishments for everyone else, it's this guy ...
In security, friction is a GOOD thing. You want to have some ceremony to do things. It's pretty much inevitable that people will give up control for convenience.
Look at Artifacts for example.
Problem is striking the right balance, and auto-forwarding your agent to foreign machines is not the right balance. At least not without being able to filter and approve individual signing requests.
