## Capabilities

| Capability | Name | Security implication |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `network:outbound` | Outbound network | Can make outbound network requests. Required for hosted model providers and remote APIs; also the path for data exfiltration if combined with read access. |
| `credentials:access` | Credentials access | Reads provider API keys, OAuth tokens, or other secrets from the host keychain or environment. |
| `git:access` | Git access | Reads or writes through git. Allows changes to commit history, branches, and remotes. |
