Comment on Show HN: Reverse-engineering web apps into agent toolsparent

Comments

Many years ago I wrote a simple script to periodically pull my aeroplan miles from Air Canada using an extracted auth token. I was building my own mobile app to track all kinds of important numbers in my life. One day I woke up to my air canada account being nuked without access. I was on the phone for 3 days talking to many layers of support. At one point they were not going to re-enable my account and would lose 400k points. I was devastated. Thankfully i was able to get it back eventually. This whole era of using LLMs to manipulate services on the client is not going to end well. We need proper business-level support or its just an irresponsible hack you are letting loose into the wild.
