Could you build this?
Partial Building an Electron/Tauri desktop interface connecting to local models or LLM APIs with tool calling is straightforward, but crafting a reliable autonomous coding agent loop with sandboxed execution and fine-grained permission controls is complex.
What it would actually take: The system requires a desktop framework (Tauri/Rust or Electron) paired with an agentic runtime that handles the Model Context Protocol (MCP), tool call parsing, and diff application. The challenging aspect is building a secure, non-destructive execution engine with robust AST-aware diffing/patching, rollback mechanisms, and sandboxed shell execution across both macOS and Windows. This requires deep systems programming, security sandboxing expertise, and prompt/eval engineering for agentic loops.
