"Scope AI agents to a dedicated folder for safety After giving an AI agent access to his entire Downloads folder and watching it create unexpected files, the speaker concluded that access boundaries matter: 'you should probably want a separate folder where all cloud co-work things are scoped to a specific folder.' By confining agent activity to one dedicated directory, you get a clear audit trail, prevent accidental interference with personal files, and make it easy to roll back or review what the agent did — a practice any knowledge worker running autonomous agents should adopt from day one.
