Could you build this?
No Creating an autonomous AI penetration testing agent that reliably discovers and executes verifiable, non-destructive exploits requires deep cybersecurity and offensive security expertise.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires integrating an agentic LLM planner with automated security scanning tools (e.g., headless browsers, proxy interception, nuclei/Burp-style fuzzing engines) and a deterministic sandbox environment to execute and verify proofs-of-concept. The hardest part is safely generating reproducible multi-step exploit payloads without false positives, which requires seasoned security research and exploit engineering.

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