You mean LLM, not agent?
Or are you using agent to mean "instance of specific LLM model hosted on X"? Your description is also a bit weird offline + firewall (firewall against what? Local hosting environment?)
An "agent" meaning an "instance of some specific LLM model with a fancy wrapper, tool use, and instruction set that recursively calls itself and/or other agents in order to accomplish a given task". Absolutely don't trust anything hosted on X!
Mostly just trying to convey a sense of caution/paranoia with extra layers of daemon bindings. Probably should've added "sandboxed" in there too.
