What agent harness did you use? Usually, "write_file", "shell_exec" or similar is two of the first tools you add to an agent harness, after read_file/list_files. If it doesn't have those tools, unsure if you could even call it a agent harness in the first place.
- jxmesth 7mo agoSorry for the confusion, I was actually talking about their Web based chat. Since most of my work is governance and docs, I just use their Web chats and they just refuse to output proper documents like Claude or Chatgpt do.
- embedding-shape 7mo agoAha... Well, I let Codex (Claude Code would work too) manage/troubleshoot .xlsx files too, seems to handle it just fine (it tends to un-archive them and browse the resulting XML files without issues), seen it do similar stuff for .app and .docx files too so maybe give that a try with other harnesses/models too, they might get it :)
- jxmesth 7mo agoYeah, it's just way easier to do via the web/mobile app but I'll give using it via the CLI a try. Thanks :)
- noduerme 7mo agoYou're not giving an AI command line access to your work computer? How do you expect to keep up? /s
- dymk 7mo agoYou give it command line access in a VM...
- koen_hendriks 7mo agoYou mean a VM like the one that contains a 0day that can escape the sandbox that gets found every year at pwn2own?
- enneff 7mo agoPresumably you’re also using a browser to view this web page. There have also been vulnerabilities in that. You have to draw a line somewhere.
- andai 7mo agoI run mine as a separate unprivileged user. (No VM.) Am I pwned?
- dymk 7mo agoMaybe, but the sort of 0days you're talking about aren't exploited in any meaningful way for almost all developers.

- ycui1986 7mo agoi give it in real ubuntu, no vm, no docker. so long I don't ask it to organize files, it will behave. it has not screw me so far.
- dymk 7mo agoGodspeed
- DeathArrow 7mo agoI only run it with --dangerously-skip-permissions. YOLO!

- make3 7mo agothere's things like Open Web UI that allow you to easily get a chat UI from an open source model
- chillfox 7mo agoYou can make a harness fully functional with just the "shell_exec" tool if you give it access to a linux/unix environment + playwright cli.
