Question Xcode 27 agentic coding security

Has anyone been using the new agentic coding features in Xcode 27?

Im still wrapping my head around AI tools as of this year as it had been made a requirement at my job. The industry is moving in this direction whether I like it or not.

Since being laid off Ive been trying to learn more about using these tools effectively in my free time.

Had an experience at work where Claude CLI decided to completely ignore directions to not leave a certain project folder. Since then I am VERY apprehensive about using it on a personal machine. I don't trust them to be frank. Im using Claude Code/ Codex on the web and they're fine for the most part.

Is adding an agent via Xcode 27's Intelligence features the same as installing the CLI or desktop version of these things? Or is it a more restricted approach?

Ok. Data sent to them I completely understand. Just worried that it will end up poking around my Mac of its own volition again.

I see why people buy Mac mini’s for this type of thing (if a bit excessive).

I’ve got an older MacBook I might wipe and try to use as a server
