Exactly, my understanding is also that they host agents as a service. The actual use case is mentioned in the end of the article, which makes it hard to reason about.
replyAnyway. General advice: treat harnesses as any other (third-party) software that you run on your server. Modern harnesses (the ones from big companies, you need to subscribe to) are black boxes. Would you run a random binary you fetched from the internet on your server? Claude code, codex etc. are exactly this.
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 issues we find. We host our agent loop on a backend (it's in go), and we call to the sandbox when we run operations involving the user code.
