Apple plans tighter Full Disk Access controls as AI agents become more powerful

Full Disk Access lets Mac applications see sensitive information far beyond an ordinary working folder. As AI agents gain the ability to act across apps, Apple is planning more deliberate approval controls.

Apple has not provided a firm rollout date. For a machine running local automation and experimental AI utilities, least privilege is still the practical principle.

Action: inspect Privacy & Security > Full Disk Access on BigMac and MiniMac. Review unfamiliar permissions, but do not blindly disable tools that require them for backups or legitimate administration.
