    I call this "blast radius". Earlier this year during the Claw hype I was reading about all kinds of elaborate schemes to prevent the agent from getting API keys.

    I realized, what am I actually afraid of. Well, overspend. So I just set then all to disable auto-reloading. Now if it blows up, I'm down $5.

    Same story with containers. Just give it root on a VPS, and if it blows up, I'm down $3.
