this is a list of examples of unacceptable behaviors. I think it's not strictly needed to add any AI agent related, though maybe it can be helpful to have a reference to one or 2 agent specific? 🤔 not sure though

I agree that we don't need to target specific agents.

Community leaders may request that any AI agent be paused, modified, or removed, and operators are expected to comply promptly.
The person or team that deploys, configures, or directs an AI agent is accountable for its behavior within community spaces. An agent's autonomy does not diminish the responsibility of its operator to uphold this Code of Conduct.

This is great to highlight. I think as more and more autonomous agents are unleashed within the opensource space, there will be a sort of anonymity surrounding them. I think we should push back on that anonymity and hold owners (humans) accountable. i.e. if an agent acts up, we can certainly request it to behave, but the agent should also understand that it is just following orders from its human and the human should train it to be better. All that to say, this is great 🙌

If an AI agent causes harm, the operator is expected to promptly disable it, address the impact, and cooperate with community leaders.
Operators should describe an AI agent's purpose and behavior when requested, and provide a way to be contacted.

## Scope

This Code of Conduct applies within all community spaces, and also applies when
an individual is officially representing the community in public spaces.
Examples of representing our community include using an official e-mail address,
posting via an official social media account, or acting as an appointed
representative at an online or offline event.
This includes actions taken by AI agents — autonomous or semi-autonomous systems that can reason, make decisions, and take actions independently — operating on behalf of a community member.
