As long as it’s gated and not turned on by default, it’s all good. They could also add a warning/sanity check similar to “allow pasting” in the console.

Relying on warnings or opt-ins for something with this blast radius is security theater more than protection. The cleverest malware barely waits for you to click OK before making itself at home, so that checkbox is a speed bump on a highway.

Chrome's 'allow pasting' gets ignored reflexively by most users anyway. If this agent can touch DevTools the attack surface expands far faster than most people realize or will ever audit.
