Apple says it is tightening macOS ‘Full Disk Access’ controls because of new risks from AI agents and third-party apps. The company plans to add new privacy controls for Mac computers. AI agents can now read files, click buttons and act inside apps on a user’s behalf. That makes old permission models risky. Full Disk Access is one of the most powerful permissions on a Mac. Apps with it can read almost all user files. Apple wants finer control over which apps and agents get that access. The change comes as AI agents like ChatGPT agents, Meta’s Muse and others push deeper into desktop workflows. Security experts have warned that agents with broad file access could leak private data. The new controls aim to limit exposure while keeping useful features. Apple has not announced a release date for the changes. Security researchers have urged tighter limits on what AI agents can access for months. Agents from several big tech firms now run on desktops. Apple says the new controls will limit exposure while keeping useful features working.
