AI Access Auditor released to audit and revoke AI coding agent permissions
Start here
AI Access Auditor has been released as a free local app for macOS, Windows and Linux that finds the permissions AI coding agents have collected, explains each in a line, and lets users revoke it with one click and undo. It covers tool and command permissions, MCP servers, trusted folders, hooks, saved logins, and API keys left in shell environments and agent session logs, and uses Claude Code, Codex CLI and Gemini CLI session logs to mark grants that were never used. An optional hook-based popup can ask before Claude Code, Codex or Gemini CLI runs a tool. A CLI scan via npx supports scripts and CI with a --fail-on high exit code; it requires Node.js 18 or later and installs nothing. The app requires macOS 13 or later (Apple Silicon and Intel) or Windows 10 and 11 (x64 and ARM installers), and is available free from the website or the latest release.
