cc-safety-net

CC Safety Net (Coding CLI Safety Net) blocks destructive commands and access to secrets such as SSH keys and .env files before the tool call runs. It parses what the command does. Wrapping the command or reordering flags does not hide it. A broken config file falls back to safe defaults instead of stopping your agent. It is not a sandbox: it does not contain processes, set filesystem permissions, or watch network egress.

Note

Full documentation → covers installation, configuration, reference material, guides, and the security model. This README is the short version.

How it works

Supported coding CLIs

CC Safety Net supports these coding agent CLIs on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Amp Code	Antigravity CLI	Claude Code	Codex
Cursor	DeepSeek Harness	Devin CLI	Factory Droid
Gemini CLI	GitHub Copilot CLI	Grok Build	Hermes Agent
Kimi Code	OpenClaw	OpenCode	Pi

Features

• Blocks destructive commands such as git reset --hard, git push --force, and rm -rf on dangerous targets, and install scripts piped from the internet (curl … | bash), even inside bash -c or python -c. See Blocked commands.
• Blocks secret access to SSH keys, .env files, ~/.aws, and coding-CLI credentials, from the shell and from the agent's file tools. See Secret protection.
• Tunes the policy in a GUI. Run npx cc-safety-net gui to pick the Standard, Strict, or Paranoid preset and turn rules on or off. See Dashboard.
• Adds blocks through rulebooks: official packs for Terraform, AWS, gcloud, and Azure, or your own JSON. See Official rulebooks.
• Shares policy through git. Commit .cc-safety-net/ so clones and cloud sessions get the same rules. See Team setup.
• Embeds in your own tools. Call checkCommand from Node.js without installing the hook. See Library API.

Quick start

You need Node.js 22 or higher. Install into the coding CLIs on this machine, then check that protection is working:

npx -y cc-safety-net@latest install
npx -y cc-safety-net@latest doctor

Update with npx -y cc-safety-net@latest update and uninstall with npx -y cc-safety-net uninstall. Keep the @latest qualifier: a bare cc-safety-net spec can run an older copy from the npx cache. Per-CLI requirements are in Installation.

Development
