Is Claude Code Safe? Codex, Cursor, Gemini Too

Name: Is Claude Code Safe? Codex, Cursor, Gemini Too
Uploaded: 2026-10-31T14:02:50.000Z
Description: We read the official docs for four coding agents on October 30, 2026, with the same questions for each: Claude Code from Anthropic, Codex from OpenAI, Cursor, and Gemini CLI from Google. What can each one reach by default, which switch changes that, and how do you fence off your secret files? This isn't a ranking, and we don't call any of them the safest.
