Roblox feature or a virus? (Edit: feature, I'm just dumb)

Quick run down of what happened:

I have been using models from toolboxes as placeholders in my project, even using some with script (pretty dumb, I know) but after I was done, I made sure to clean everything up, or so I thought.
Testing the game inside studio was fine, however, when I joined the game in a real instance of roblox, I was given gear.

So, I start freaking out, thinking my game has a virus some where so I start looking for it. I searched the entire explorer and using find all in hopes of finding scripts that use “require” or “getfenv” to no avail. In the end, I rip everything out of the game except the baseplate, but alas, still receive the gear in game

I had given up, and decided to ask for help on a discord server. After they joined the game, one of them realized, they were only given gear they owned. And this lined up. The gear I was given, was gear I own on Roblox

After, knowing this, the person ask me to disable gears

And like magic, the gears were gone and my game was “virus” free

TL;DR

Is this a real Roblox feature where a game just gives all the gear you own or did only allowing certain gears only stop whatever script/virus from giving out the gear but not stopping it from doing other malicious things?

edit:
It was a feature, :upside_down_face: (valid 3hr crash out?)

I am in a simulation. This cannot be reality.

edit: maybe help and feedback would have been a better fit?

Gears used to be more common back then but no games implemented the gears in their games for obvious reasons. If you are new to roblox you probably wouldn’t even know that this feature exist :wink:.
