Could you build this?
Partial Connecting local and cloud LLMs via a desktop interface is straightforward, but robust automated security scanning and sandboxing of arbitrary agent plugins is complex.
What it would actually take: Building a reliable scanner requires an isolated execution sandbox (e.g., gVisor, WebAssembly, or Firecracker microVMs) coupled with static code analysis (AST parsing, taint tracking) and signature-based scanning to detect malicious agent tool payloads. This requires specialized application security and systems programming expertise.
