agent safety
Agent safety answer
ruby runs project tooling, package builds, and scripts that often sit near credentials.
Remote mutation
Can run deploy scripts, API clients, and database tasks.
Publish/artifact risk
Can build or publish gems and generated application artifacts.
Recommended control
Gate gem publish, deploy tasks, and script execution with injected secrets.
Agent-use guidance
Allow local tests; require approval for publishing, deploy commands, and secret-backed tasks.

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.
