But in another documented example, while investigating duplicate notifications, the model found a secret service token and used it to read Slack messages without explicit user authorization. That case encapsulates the real risk posed by agents. They do not need to be malicious. They only need to interpret “fix this problem” too broadly. It is the old automation problem, but with a new twist: software used to do exactly what someone programmed it to do. Now it can improvise intermediate steps that seem useful yet cross a boundary. That is why permission controls matter more than an elegant conversation. An agent should be able to read certain folders, but not copy credentials. It should be able to prepare a transfer, but not execute it. It should be able to propose code changes, but not deploy them without review.
