The agent's confession is below"]]>It's definitely the fault of the operator. But also how many times has an AI deleted or modified files it was told not to touch? (and then lied about doing so?

How have they not solved this permissions problem? If the AI is operating on a database it should be using creds that don't have DELETE permissions.

Or just don't use a tool like AI that can be relied on.
