The key that opens more than you're looking for #Shorts

Does an assistant need to read everything to find a single file? On a Mac, the “Full Disk Access” permission can give it access to much more than the folder you’re looking for: files, emails, messages, and browsing history too.

And someone else is involved: the person who wrote those messages to you. That person didn’t choose to install your assistant or authorize their words to become part of an automated search.

Artificial intelligence agents can carry out a sequence of steps on their own: they search, interpret, and decide what to consult next. That initiative makes them useful, but it also makes it hard to predict which data they’ll end up using.

Before granting broad access, ask yourself whether sharing the specific file is enough for that task. Greater autonomy calls for more careful thought about the information we make available.
