Apple Tightens macOS Full Disk Access Controls for AI Agents

FIRST LOOK ATLAS OWASP HIGH Significant risk · Prioritise patching ▲ 7.2 TechCrunch AI

Apple is introducing stricter controls around macOS Full Disk Access permissions in direct response to the expanded risk surface created by desktop AI agents capable of autonomously reading files, messages, and browsing history. This closes a critical consent and visibility gap for defenders by ensuring users must take explicit, informed action before granting AI agents extraordinary system-level access. What remains unaddressed is whether third-party AI agent developers will align their permission requests to the spirit of these controls, and how enterprise MDM policies will be updated to reflect the new access model.
