You better prevent that by not giving it permission to open your production website in that particular Chrome extension that Cloud Code ships with.

That's also something that has happened to me.

Highly recommend turning it off and only turning it on if you actually are sitting in front of the system looking at what it does.

If my Agentic system had decided to run a migration test back then, when I was trying to connect to the production, and confuse my development database with my production database, I could have seen a full wipe of everything, several terabytes of customer data, of podcast data that I painfully sourced.
podcast-host
And my backup solution at that point would have taken like half a day to restore because it's a massive amount of data.
podcast-host
And it gets worse.
podcast-host
I once told Clot Code it was not allowed to run PHP artisan migrate, which in narrow is how you run database migrations, rollbacks, wipes, right?
podcast-host
To prevent it from doing this.
podcast-host
So what did it do?
podcast-host
It wrote a bash script, which it was allowed to do.
podcast-host
And inside that script, it invoked the exact same command that it had forbidden.
podcast-host
It knew that it wasn't allowed to run the command.
podcast-host
So instead of asking me what else to do, it made an effort to circumvent my permissions.
podcast-host
So as Arthur Weasley says in Harry Potter, don't trust the thing if you don't know where it keeps its brain.
podcast-host
And I feel the same way about agentic systems.
podcast-host
You just don't know what it will do next.
podcast-host
So for local development, never run without permissions.
podcast-host
I think never use the dangerous Easky permissions flag, even though it makes it easier to go step away and do whatever you want, and you'll be interrupted less if you use it.
podcast-host
But
podcast-host
It's better to have babysit the agent a little here because you need to understand what it's doing.
