Questions
Can ChatGPT run iproute2mac on my computer?
Yes. With BCD on your Mac or Linux computer and command permission turned on for it, ChatGPT runs iproute2mac there and reads the output. Claude and other apps with MCP connectors can too.
Do I need to install iproute2mac first?
No. If Homebrew is installed, the AI can run brew install iproute2mac 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.
