Install commandSecurity notes

agent safety

Agent safety answer

rclone moves data across local and remote storage providers.

Credential access

Reads remote storage tokens, config files, and files selected for transfer.

Remote mutation

Can copy, delete, sync, and purge remote storage.

Publish/artifact risk

Can upload or delete release artifacts, backups, and datasets.

Recommended control

Gate sync, delete, purge, config, and token-revealing commands.

Agent-use guidance

Allow dry-run listings; require approval for transfers, deletes, and config export.

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.
