Apple locks down Full Disk Access, and AI agents are the reason

Apple is increasing macOS restrictions by introducing more user-facing controls for granting Full Disk Access. This move follows concerns that insecure or greedy AI agents may abuse such permissions once obtained. While some developers fear these barriers will hinder apps outside the App Store, endpoint security vendors support the change. Apple advises users to review their Privacy and Security settings to monitor which apps currently hold Full Disk Access to ensure their Mac remains secure.
