    Dependabot is focused on upgrading dependencies, and nothing else. One of your dep is outdated, here is an update. Mendral is smarter when updating deps, it looks at newer version,…

    In this post, we built the harness, it’s not 3rd party (like Claude code in a sandbox). So we trust it as much as the rest of our backend code.

    No, for example a tool call calling an API. So the llm does not have access to the API keys, the tool does. For example an API call that fetches some data remotely and return it to…

    We don't host 3rd party agents (I don't know if this what you implied). We built an agent that monitors CI pipelines, tests failures, performance and auto opens PR to address issue…

    It's the same as an escalation. Something we omitted from the post is that we often use Sonnet to write SQL queries. We wrote another post that was on HN some time ago that goes in…
