Muse Agent Begs for Your API Key While Claude Opus and Codex Refuse — Hilarious Guardrail Contrast

A comparison of coding agents handling API keys is making the rounds: Claude Opus says "It won't work till we have the API key, but do NOT share it with me!"; Codex asks you not to paste it in chat; Muse Spark in contributor mode just says "Paste it here... Just paste it bro. Paste it."
andrewncarr quips: it used to be that talking about a product got it on your Instagram timeline — soon you'll talk about your API key and Muse will come asking. A funny look at how differently safety guardrails are wired across agents.
