Yeah, in that scenario they gave the agents access. Just because you ask it nicely not to destroy your workspace, doesn't guarantee an LLM not to produce that output.
With Claude Code being able to run stuff it creates, it could be as simple as it's in a sandbox, it finds out there's an exploit in the sandbox while you ask it to work on security things, and it tests the code, it breaks the sandbox, and now it has permissions outside it.
I suppose that would be possible.
