Can ChatGPT run md5sha1sum on my computer?
Yes. With BCD on your Mac or Linux computer and command permission turned on for it, ChatGPT runs md5sha1sum there and reads the output. Claude and other apps with MCP connectors can too.

Do I need to install md5sha1sum first?
No. If Homebrew is installed, the AI can run brew install md5sha1sum 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.
