agent safety
Agent safety answer
rust tooling builds binaries and can publish crates through Cargo workflows.
Remote mutation
Can run build scripts and toolchain commands that call external systems.
Publish/artifact risk
Can publish crates and release binaries.
Recommended control
Gate cargo publish, install scripts, and credentialed registry access.
Agent-use guidance
Allow build/test/doc commands; require approval for publish and release automation.

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.
