Do you have any advice for running this in a secure way? I’m planning on giving a molt a container on a machine I don’t mind trashing, but we seem to lack tools to R/W real world stuff like email/ Google Drive files without blowing up the world.

Is there a tool/policy/governance mechanism which can provide access to a limited set of drive files/githubs/calendar/email/google cloud projects?

If you want to have an AI play with your real work stuff, you should at least do it using a tool from a relatively reputable commercial vendor, nothing against OSS - I'm a champion, but this is a very new project and unless you're quite technical trying to shoehorn it in is probably unwise. I've been using Claude Cowork in their Claude Desktop app, I think you need their more expensive plan to access it, however it's incredibly good and has a lot of guardrails, so far few weeks in zero issues.
