- Mac users letting AI coding agents work on servers
- Worth noticing
- The page warns that its access scoping can stop a confused agent, but not a hostile one.
Field notes
The access model is configured separately for Dev, Staging, and Live, with the page describing Touch ID approval for Live. For proposed changes, Keyhold says it inspects a script, lists actions such as database changes or network use, takes a backup, and records the run. WordPress has a separate gate level limited to a fixed list of operations; the page also names Drupal, Magento, Laravel, Django, and Node among recognized site types.
