Install commandSecurity notes

agent safety

Agent safety answer

ruby runs project tooling, package builds, and scripts that often sit near credentials.

Credential access

Reads environment variables, bundle config, gem credentials, and app secrets.

Remote mutation

Can run deploy scripts, API clients, and database tasks.

Publish/artifact risk

Can build or publish gems and generated application artifacts.

Recommended control

Gate gem publish, deploy tasks, and script execution with injected secrets.

Agent-use guidance

Allow local tests; require approval for publishing, deploy commands, and secret-backed tasks.

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.
