# Install s3cmd with Homebrew, apk, apt, dnf, MacPorts, Nix, pacman, zypper Command-line tool for the Amazon S3 service. Version 2.4.0 via Homebrew; verified from local package data. ## Install ```sh sudo av install brew:s3cmd ``` ## Agent safety answer s3cmd transfers and mutates S3-compatible object storage. - **Credential access:** Reads S3 access keys, config files, and files selected for transfer. - **Remote mutation:** Can upload, delete, sync, and change object ACLs. - **Publish/artifact risk:** Can publish or remove artifacts and static-site assets. - **Recommended control:** Gate sync, delete, put, ACL, and credential commands. - **Agent-use guidance:** Allow bucket listing; require approval for uploads, deletes, ACL changes, and sensitive paths.
