# Install rust with Homebrew, apk, chocolatey, dnf, MacPorts, Nix, pacman, scoop, zypper, apt Safe, concurrent, practical language. Version 1.96.1 via Homebrew; verified 2026-07-04. ## Install ```sh sudo av install brew:rust ``` ## Agent safety answer rust tooling builds binaries and can publish crates through Cargo workflows. - **Credential access:** Reads Cargo credentials, Git credentials, environment variables, and project config. - **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.
