Could you build this?
Partial The orchestration loop and tool-calling interfaces are straightforward to vibe-code, but reliable autonomous multi-step exploitation requires offensive security domain knowledge.
What it would actually take: A production version would use Python with an agent framework like LangGraph, sandboxed Docker containers, and APIs wrapping CLI tools like Nmap, Nuclei, and Metasploit. The hard part is building robust context-aware planning, stateful exploitation graph tracking, and managing interactive terminal sessions without triggering hallucinated payloads or infinite loops. It requires senior penetration testers and security engineers to build reliable decision logic.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a agent / copilot tool for Agriculture yet.
