Of course they are - and that's the point I am making. The agent will use every tool in the tool bag. And there's something cool about it systematically trying to achieve its goal.

What I don't see is it inventing anything novel to do it. So it's not a digital weapon or scary or whatever sort of weird marketing spin anyone is trying to put on it.

And these things are documented for humans do, and yet only a tiny portion of humanity can do these things.

When seeing how agents put together exploit chains they are far better than most people, you start getting to the point that they are just below the capabilities of the top researchers. Now remember that quantity is a quality itself and while there aren't that many good cyber security researchers, we're shitting out thousands of GPUs per day.
