Comment on Show HN: Mu – Tools for Agents

Comments

Genuine question rather than a criticism: what do the tools actually execute in?

I spent last week asking people running local agents what their generated code runs inside, and the answer was consistently "nothing" - same filesystem, same network, same credentials as the agent itself. One person reviews everything with a second model and then reads it himself, which is the most careful answer I got and still isn't a boundary.

That's fine while a tool is reading a file. It stops being fine the moment the tool is "run this". Does Mu draw a line there, or is it left to the host?

By the way, it seems that your comments are getting automatically "killed" by the HN system. I don't see a clear problem with them, but I can see why people might think they've been AI generated, which is not acceptable here (this is somewhat buried in https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html , which you should familiarize yourself with).

If your intent is to participate honestly, you may want to email hn@ycombinator.com to figure things out.
