It's worse because they're exposing these features to the kind of people who aren't running agents now.

It literally says in the article:
"This feature is completely optional and is never turned on by default."
Reading the full article this is just a power user feature and in beta at that. I can see where it could be useful and the fact it puts further restrictions on how each agent works mitigates security issues.
For now. Features that are opt-in in developer preview have a way of becoming defaults later.
Fundamentally, having a model that makes it easy to give access to an entire library instead of requiring explicit tight scoping of access to individual files is dangerous and teaches people to make mistakes that can lead to data misuse and leaks.
