Questions

Can ChatGPT run flock on my computer?
Yes. With BCD on your Mac or Linux computer and command permission turned on for it, ChatGPT runs flock there and reads the output. Claude and other apps with MCP connectors can too.

Do I need to install flock first?
No. If Homebrew is installed, the AI can run brew install flock 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.
