I really like how easy it is to run using bunx, pnpx, npx, etc.

But does anyone have thoughts on the security aspect. Getting people used to just running code like this that has full access to the system is slightly concerning.

On the other hand it’s no different than installing npm packages

Yes, you need to run these agents in a sandboxed environment when running full AFK [1] yolo. That could be a Docker container or it could be remote developer environment.

They are talking about the fact that you can run this npm tool without installing it - not running code agents

Ah, that's the least of their issues!
