Questions
Can ChatGPT run dysk on my computer?
Yes. With BCD on your Mac or Linux computer and command permission turned on for it, ChatGPT runs dysk there and reads the output. Claude and other apps with MCP connectors can too.
Do I need to install dysk first?
No. If Homebrew is installed, the AI can run brew install dysk for you.
Is it safe?
A new computer starts read-only: running commands is turned on per computer, and BCD reaches only the folders you allow.
