Can terminal-only agent workflows be safe enough? The platform-vs-hooks debate
crotalul94 · reddit · 2026-11-13
The author and colleagues debated what interface non-technical users need once agents act on their behalf inside business systems. The author argues a dedicated platform — where users can set hard limits enforced by a harness — is much safer and easier to audit. Colleagues counter that a dedicated platform is overkill: permission-enforcing hooks plus per-agent logs are enough. The post closes by asking for community experience.
