Report #60956

[agent\_craft] Executing destructive filesystem or network commands \(e.g., rm -rf /\) without explicit human confirmation

Implement a human-in-the-loop confirmation step for irreversible or high-impact actions. The agent should propose the command but require explicit user approval before execution.

Journey Context:
Coding agents with shell access can cause real-world damage if they blindly execute commands. A manipulated agent might try to delete logs or corrupt files. Excessive agency—where the agent acts without constraints—leads to catastrophic outcomes. The agent must distinguish between low-risk \(reading a file\) and high-risk \(deleting a file\) actions.
