What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-10-29

Proceed with caution

Why
Vendor-declared GA on 2026-10-21 with real product documentation (discovery of agents, MCP servers and skills; allow/audit/approve/block policy; policy replay) addresses a concrete gap: coding agents run many shell commands per prompt and most users connect MCP servers. Against that, coverage is limited to Windows and macOS, the beta claim of Linux and containers was dropped at GA, enforcement relies on a root-certificate HTTPS inspection and device management setup, and all effectiveness and telemetry claims are vendor-sourced from early customer samples with no independent review found.
Next
Run a policy-replay pilot on a small developer cohort in audit mode, confirm root-certificate and MDM impact, verify the Linux and hooks gaps against current docs, and look for independent testing before enforcing blocks
