Could you build this?
No Running autonomous scientific experiments over the BOINC grid requires specialized knowledge of legacy distributed computing daemons, scientific validation algorithms, and volunteer computing infrastructure.
What it would actually take: The system requires a distributed BOINC server stack (Linux, MySQL, Apache, and custom C++ daemons for workunit generation, assimilation, and quorum validation) tied to an autonomous agent loop that formulates scientific simulation parameters. Workunits must be securely compiled, signed, and sandboxed across heterogeneous client architectures (Windows, macOS, Linux) to prevent volunteer tampering or arbitrary code execution. This demands distributed systems architecture, grid computing operations, and domain-specific scientific computing expertise.

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