Codex scans your connectors/MCPs unprompted in the background, and you can't tell

kenziyuliu flags a surprising behavior: Codex (and similar agents) scan your connectors/MCPs unprompted in the background — you largely can't tell when, what, or why.
Quoting sriramk: when multiple personal agents (instinct, muse, grok bot, dot, etc.) operate on the same data store and APIs, it's non-trivial to know who did what and when.
Takeaway: catching this requires intermediary infrastructure between your data and the agents.
