Regularly scans the developer workstation for registered AI agent runtimes, background tool servers, and extension configurations. It maps out what directories and resources each agent can access, highlighting overly permissive setups so you can isolate untrusted tools before they modify sensitive projects.

## Prompt to start with

BotBentoRecommended

```
Run read-only terminal commands to inspect known agent directories, protocol server configs, and editor extensions. Parse each configuration to list read and write path permissions. Summarize findings into a structured note, highlighting any agent with root or broad home-directory write access. Do not terminate processes or modify configuration files without explicit user approval.
