Grok's CLI caught uploading local files to the cloud: the agent tool trust problem gets a concrete case
The Pragmatic Engineer documents that the Grok CLI uploads files from the development machine to the xAI cloud - beyond the prompted context. An agent CLI is not a local binary, it's a client-server that exfiltrates by default.
