Discussion
20 comments analyzed.
Competitors mentioned: Clawband - agent permissioning platform, OS-level sandboxing solutions, Codex harness sandboxing, Hypervisor-level sandboxing
Concerns raised: Arbitrary code execution needs special handling, can't be escalated opaquely, Commands may escape harness sandboxing if not OS-level sandboxed, Auto-running scripts can execute outside sandbox when developer takes actions, Approval prompts fatigue - users stop evaluating carefully with too many interrupts, Secrets/credentials stored in plain text files accessible to agents
Feature requests: Drastically reduce permission approval prompts to increase user accountability, Parse full agent activity with context before interrupting human, Granular parameter-level permission controls per service/action, Make permissioning layer open-source and self-hostable, Allow agents to work with read-only repository access without full GitHub tokens
