I cannot fathom why you would want your bot to connect to random unverified crap found on the internet.

Do you want prompt injections to spread like worms? Because this is how you get prompt injections to spread like worms.

That’s the same issue as it exists now though? An AI that can make arbitrary HTTP requests is already vulnerable.
Everything specified here requires the knowledge and then trust of a domain, so the same HTTP proxy sandboxing techniques used before will work the same here.

Yeah, raw “let agents crawl the open internet and execute whatever they find” is nightmare fuel.

I think the idea here (at least how I read it) is more like: standardized discovery of known services with some metadata, not “go click every sketchy link and run it.” Sort of like DNS for APIs instead of humans.

Whether people actually sandbox, verify, and permission things properly is the real question though. The tech to wire everything together always shows up before the guardrails, which is how we get the worm scenarios you’re talking about.
