The same safety model everywhere
A client name never grants trust. Every connection is constrained by its own profile, authorized roots, tool permissions, limits, and write policy.
- 01Create a profileChoose authorized folders and keep the default read-only mode for initial use.
- 02Install configSelect the client in AI Bridge and use its setup button, or copy the generic stdio snippet.
- 03Test and revokeCall get_context, inspect the audit entry, and revoke the profile whenever access is no longer needed.
