Worm/centipede in soil

I found 2 of this creature running across the topsoil of my Areca palm and it’s the first time I’m seeing them, I’ve had this plant for 5 months or so?

I’ve watered it 2 days ago and that’s when it resurfaced so I’m assuming maybe it has something to do with it?

I’ve heard that it could be beneficial for the soil which I won’t mind having them unless they escape the pot so please let me know if they do and how can I keep their population in check??

PS it’s very very tiny
