Databricks open-sources Omnigent, a meta-harness that composes Claude Code, Codex, and custom agents.
Story
Apache 2.0, published June 13. Omnigent sits above existing harnesses for one-line switching between Claude Code, Codex, Pi, and custom agents, and adds the controls you actually need in production: contextual security policies (require approval after a package download before a git push), per-session LLM budget caps (pause at $100 spend), an OS sandbox with network interception, and live multi-user collaboration on an agent's workspace. (Databricks) The per-session budget cap alone is worth the install if you've ever watched an agent quietly burn credits in a loop.
