What it can access
- An AI agent decides its own next steps and calls whatever tools you give it, so its risk depends on the access you grant.

- Read the tool list or scripts before the first run, and keep approval prompts on for actions that write, send or delete.
- Maintained by katanaml on GitHub, 5,232 stars and 518 forks. Popularity is not proof of safety.
