Edit Boundary Preview¶
Filesystem/Edit Boundary is a preview follow-on to MCP Firewall, Secure GitHub, and Command Boundary.
Boundary can inspect and gate proposed file mutations when edits route through a Boundary edit envelope.
boundary edit inspect --patch proposed.diff
boundary edit apply --patch proposed.diff --dry-run
boundary redteam --pack edit-secret-exfil
This is preview. Direct editor writes, direct filesystem writes, shell
redirection, direct git apply, and unwrapped IDE APIs are outside Boundary.
Current Preview Routes¶
| Route | Scope |
|---|---|
boundary edit inspect |
Classifies proposed patch bytes without applying them. |
boundary edit apply --dry-run |
Evaluates a proposed edit and records the verdict without writing files. |
boundary edit apply |
Applies only when the preview policy allows or local approval is supplied for approval-required classes. |
boundary redteam --pack edit-* |
Runs fixture edit-risk packs without live mutation. |
Claim Boundary¶
Edit Boundary governs proposed file mutations only when the mutation routes
through a Boundary edit envelope. Direct editor writes, direct filesystem
writes, direct git apply, shell redirection, IDE saves, CI jobs, and arbitrary
processes are bypasses unless explicitly routed through Boundary.
