- The team analyzed 290 real-world reports of agents deleting, overwriting, or leaking files.
- It proposes agent-native filesystems with introspection, undo, and operation gating.
- The YoloFS prototype lets agents run freely while keeping user files safe.
- The paper also introduces new benchmarks for agent safety and autonomy.
