Recommended review

Before unattended agent use, check whether the tool reads plaintext credentials, writes remote state, publishes artifacts, or shells out to plugins.

local files

Configuration and credential file locations

These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials. Automic Vault can use them as review targets for secret scanning, migration, and command approval.

Configuration files

Config paths the tool may read or write during local use.

Unix: ~/.config/plakar/destinations.yml~/.config/plakar/sources.yml~/.config/plakar/stores.yml

Credential files

Credential-bearing paths to review before unattended agent runs.

Unix: ~/.config/plakar/destinations.yml~/.config/plakar/sources.yml~/.config/plakar/stores.yml
