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 🙌

CODE_OF_CONDUCT.mdto explicitly cover AI agent behavior by adding new unacceptable-conduct examples (harassment, high-volume disruption, ban evasion, impersonation).It also adds enforcement/accountability language making operators responsible for their agents, requiring cooperation with moderation requests (pause/modify/remove, disable on harm, provide purpose/contact), and clarifies that agent actions fall within the Code of Conduct’s scope.
