My AI agent has broad admin privileges on my laptop. I trust it — but trust needs verification.
Added Tetragon (eBPF, open source) to watch the kernel independently. Block dangerous commands, flag sensitive access, record all processes and TCP connections.
7 days, 7,758 executions, zero enforcement. The agent behaved. The audit still found things its log missed.
Trust needs evidence.

@ebelo@mastodon.social the majority of ways your agent could misbehave are at the application layer, for example sending your keys to a 3rd party server through HTTP. Tetragon cannot inspect or block any of that activity. There are so many exploits published out there, like the guy that created a fake local coffee shop to siphon data from claude as it searched the web through tools.
