## Agent safety answer

docker-machine provisions and manages Docker hosts and credentials.

- **Credential access:** Reads machine certificates, SSH keys, and Docker host credentials.
- **Remote mutation:** Can create, remove, start, stop, and configure Docker hosts.
- **Publish/artifact risk:** Can expose or replace infrastructure used for container workloads.
- **Recommended control:** Gate create, rm, regenerate-certs, env, and host mutation commands.
- **Agent-use guidance:** Allow inspect/status; require approval for host creation, deletion, and credential export.
