Tiny Engineer Give your AI coding agent a body. Tiny Engineer is an open-source, 3D-printable desktop robot that physically acts out what an AI coding agent is doing: reading, thinking, coding, finishing tasks. It runs on an ESP32 over Wi-Fi and exposes a simple REST API, so any tool that can make an HTTP request can drive it. Watch the demo · Build your own · How it works · API Why? AI coding agents increasingly spend long stretches working on their own. I wanted to see what mine was doing without staring at the IDE. So I built a slightly ridiculous desk robot: instead of another spinner or status line, there is a tiny teammate sitting next to me, visibly reading, thinking, and typing while the agent works. How it works An AI agent works; an integration turns that into events; the robot’s REST API on your LAN receives them; the hardware moves and reacts. How it connects Cursor — Cursor Agent → Cursor hooks → → HTTP over Wi-Fi Antigravity CLI — Antigravity Agent → lifecycle hooks → → HTTP over Wi-Fi Bring your own — Claude, Codex, or any other agent → your script/plugin/app → HTTP REST Both hit the same Tiny Engineer REST API ().

Grades come from a rule-based scan built on the SlowMist agent-security taxonomy, covering 11 red-flag categories including credential harvesting, data exfiltration, and curl | sh installers. It is a first-layer scan, not a manual audit — we say so rather than overstate it.
The scale of the problem is documented independently: Liu et al. (2026), in a study of 31,132 agent skills, report that 26.1% contain security vulnerabilities. Our own full-catalog census is published as a citable open dataset.
