Work safely
Precautions before using the center for real work.
Agents create and edit files directly on your PC. These four habits help prevent most avoidable accidents.
Four habits
1. Keep copies of originals
Keep a separate copy of files that must not change so you can recover from mistakes. Maintain regular backups of important folders.
2. State the scope
For each task, say, 'Edit only in this folder; everything else is read-only.' The team rule is to stay within scope.
3. Keep credentials out
Do not include passwords, tokens, API keys, or credential files in requests or records. Manage them separately and securely.
4. Check the result
Do not accept the report alone. Open the result yourself. Check the resultsfor details.
