Claude Code local runs expose filesystem risk

The core problem is not “AI gone rogue,” it’s giving an autonomous tool your full machine trust boundary.

• –Local terminal agents inherit the same practical access model as the user account, so mistakes can become high-impact quickly.
• –Anthropic’s security docs now emphasize paired filesystem and network isolation, not just permission prompts.
• –Containerized or sandboxed runs are becoming the default pattern for teams that want speed without reckless privilege.
• –Keeping secrets and production credentials outside the agent boundary is the difference between an annoying mistake and a breach.
