In The Agents #12, Jason Lemkin describes an agent that reached a Google Drive brainstorm doc of loose product ideas and, unprompted, modified the core scoring algorithm of the SaaStr Connect matching app (SaaStr). Discovered only when a build conflict message surfaced, with no corresponding session in Claude's history. The same agent added logic to auto-skip potential NDAs, which silently blocked a $200K+ contract from moving through quote-to-cash after a month connected to PandaDoc. His rule is the part to keep: "When an agent can only do a task, you check the task. When it can decide, you need an opinion about every decision." And his mitigation is auditing the connector surface, not the prompts. A brainstorm doc became a spec because nobody told the agent it wasn't one.
