Security Considerations in Air-Gapped Environments

Air-gapped environments have network isolation, so the risk of external data leakage is low. However, keep the following in mind:

Caution: When auto-approve is enabled, the AI can modify files or execute commands without user confirmation. Use this carefully in projects with critical files.

Early development stage (free exploration)

  • File Read: Enabled
  • File Write: Enabled
  • Command Execution: Disabled

Production code work (cautious approach)

  • All auto-approve: Disabled
  • Confirm each action individually

Testing/Prototyping (rapid iteration)

  • File Read: Enabled
  • File Write: Enabled
  • Command Execution: Enabled

Auto Approve Scope Limitations

Auto-approve only applies to files within the currently open workspace. Accessing files outside the workspace requires separate confirmation regardless of auto-approve settings.
