Security#

• Command whitelist: Only safe read-only commands ( status, ip, ping, netcheck, whois, serve-status)
• No write access: Cannot modify serve/funnel config, change ACLs, or administer tailnet
• IP masking: Public IPs automatically replaced with [IP-MASKED]
• No auth keys: Never accesses or exposes Tailscale auth keys
• No secrets: Does not read config files or tokens
