Prevent Accidental File Deletion by AI Agents
Protect against accidental file deletion by AI agents. AgentUnblocker blocks dangerous rm commands and requires approval for file deletions.
The Problem
AI agents like Claude Code can accidentally delete important files with commands like `rm -rf`. You need protection against destructive file operations without slowing down safe file management.
The Solution
AgentUnblocker monitors all file deletion commands, blocks dangerous operations like `rm -rf /`, and requires approval for deleting files in protected directories.
How It Works
Claude Code attempts file deletion
AgentUnblocker checks path against protected directories
Safe deletions (temp files, build artifacts) auto-approve
Deletions in src/, config/ require manual approval
Dangerous commands like rm -rf / are blocked instantly
Key Benefits
Block dangerous rm -rf commands automatically
Protect source code and configuration files
Auto-approve deletion of temporary files
Review file deletion requests in dashboard
Recover from accidental deletions with audit trail
Example Configuration
# Block rm -rf with wildcard

How does AgentUnblocker detect dangerous file deletions?
AgentUnblocker analyzes the file path, flags (like -rf), and directory structure to identify potentially destructive operations before execution.
Can I recover files deleted by AI agents?
AgentUnblocker maintains an audit trail of all file operations. If you have backup/version control, you can use this trail to identify and recover deleted files.
