Stop Letting AI Agents Touch Your C: Drive

Your AI coding agent can read your .ssh folder. It can edit your hosts file. It can delete your whole C: drive if it goes wrong.

Why are you letting it?

The fix

Map the agents workspace to its own drive letter. Done.

  • Local folder workspaces: subst.scsoi.com
  • WebDAV/cloud workspaces: drive.scsoi.com

The agent sees a normal drive. It writes there happily. It cannot see anything outside that drive.

No containers needed

You dont need Docker Desktop. You dont need a VM. You just need Windows drive mapping, which has existed for 30 years.

Both tools are one-time purchases. Set it up once, run agents worry-free forever.
