Yeah, echoing the comments here. It's a good idea - kind of - but it is all about digging deeper when it is sus.

The tool assumes so much. That it is fine to kill a process itself versus just asking you to kill the process. That everyone MUST have passwords in their home directory. It's all meaningless without providing the thing it is running and so no activity is technically safe.

Why do people even get the agent to run the commands it asks to run? You can solve the entire threat vector by running it yourself and giving the agent the output. Claude practically only needs things like sed, awk, and grep. It's a pattern matcher. It's a waste of yours (and its) time to have it run your project.
