⚙️ Configuration Summary

All categories toggleable in LM Studio settings panel. Most dangerous tools disabled by default requiring explicit opt-in through the UI. God Mode enables all categories instantly — use cautiously.

Key Settings

ContextGuard: Token limits (default 30k), smart reading, terminal filtering
Auto-Tracking: Background tracking of decisions/task completions enabled by default (75% threshold)
Search Fallback: DDG API → DDG Fetch → Google → Bing

🔒 Security Overview

All tools implement multiple security layers:

✅ Path traversal prevention via validatePath()
✅ Command sanitization blocks dangerous patterns (rm -rf, sudo)
✅ SQL injection prevention in database queries
✅ Code sandboxing for JS/Python execution (no , , or )

⚠️ Important: Most dangerous tools disabled by default requiring explicit user opt-in through settings panel. God Mode bypasses all category restrictions.
