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