agent safety
Agent safety answer
pyenv manages Python versions and can affect interpreter resolution for agent-run tools.
Remote mutation
Usually local, but installed Python tools may call remote services.
Publish/artifact risk
Can influence build artifacts by changing interpreter versions.
Recommended control
Gate plugin installs and commands that run project scripts with secrets.
Agent-use guidance
Allow version switching and inspection; require approval before plugin installs or secret-backed scripts.
