I walk through what AI agents can do, why server-level access is powerful, and why you need to be careful with permissions and SSH access. I also show a practical example where the agent checks my Docker containers on another server and compares image digests to find outdated images. Big takeaway: AI agents are genuinely useful, but only if you keep them on a short leash. Timeline chapters: 00:00 Intro, first time using AI agents 00:23 What Hermes is, and running it on Big Box 00:49 What AI agents can do at server level 01:50 Why security and permissions matter 03:25 Live demo, checking Docker containers on elitroncloud 05:05 Why least-privilege SSH access is important 05:55 Final thoughts and wrap-up
