# Install podman Tool for managing OCI containers and pods. Version 5.8.2 via Homebrew; verified 2026-05-10. ## Install ```sh sudo av install brew:podman ``` ## Agent safety answer podman builds and runs containers with registry and host filesystem access. - **Credential access:** Reads registry credentials, build secrets, environment variables, and mounted files. - **Remote mutation:** Can push images and change container or pod state. - **Publish/artifact risk:** Can build and publish container images. - **Recommended control:** Gate pushes, privileged runs, host mounts, and kube generation. - **Agent-use guidance:** Allow local inspect/build with limited mounts; require approval for publish or privileged actions.
