| Safety notes | — missing | ✓Crush executes tools and commands; by default it asks for permission before each tool call. The --yolo flag skips all permission prompts; the project warns to be very careful with it, so avoid it on untrusted work. The crush.json config is trusted code — any $(...) in it runs at load time with your shell's privileges, so review config files before use. LSP and MCP servers can read your codebase and influence agent behavior; only connect servers you trust. |
| Privacy notes | — missing | ✓Your code context and prompts are transmitted to the LLM provider you configure. API keys are read from environment variables or config files and sent to the configured provider; store them as secrets. Crush records pseudonymous usage metrics tied to a device-specific hash; prompts and responses are never collected. Opt out with CRUSH_DISABLE_METRICS=1 or DO_NOT_TRACK=1. |
