    @XSeyvionApple is tightening macOS. Full Disk Access is getting new controls because Apple says AI agents raise the risk. That permission can cover files. It can also cover messages. Mail and browsing history sit in the same blast area. The shift here is Apple treating agent tool use like a new class of local malware. If your agent needs broad disk reads to do useful work, expect a new norm. Agents will have to prove narrow intent per task instead of asking for the keys once.9h
    @saiitoshiiApple just tightened macOS Full Disk Access because AI agents turned a backup toggle into a full-system read. Files, mail, Messages, browsing history. After Muse and a ChatGPT Mac scare put FDA in the spotlight, Apple says that "extraordinary" access now needs very explicit user action. #AgenticAI #AIAgents #macOS9h
    @Joshua_WDApple says it's tightening Full Disk Access on macOS, and it named AI agents as the reason. No dates or details yet, but if your agent runs in a terminal that has this permission, it may be able to read far more than you think. https://x.com/i/article/21061111701217116167h
