Should it? I think it can be very useful to constrain what your AI can do (e.g. read files but don’t delete them). MCP is a way to do that.
- codebje 4mo agoAuthorisation is a way to do that, too.
- Someone 4mo agoYes, but you often do not have much control over that. For example try giving a local LLM read access to specific folders in your email account
- otabdeveloper4 4mo agoTheoretically you should be creating a "read email" CLI tool and letting agents interact with it in a chroot sandbox. LLMs are much more proficient with bash and --help than they are with bespoke API protocols. Treat LLMs like you would a junior programmer - keep things as generic and obvious as you can.
- skydhash 4mo agoEasy. What a cron script (that runs as root) that populate a maildir that the agent (restricted user) has access to. The. you restrict network access to the internet, and have it send you its findings by mail (local mail server).
- Someone 4mo agoThat’s not an example of “Authorisation is a way to do that”, and, I think, not easier than writing a MCP server.
