Description
RelayDesk lets supported AI assistants work with Windows, macOS, and Linux computers, servers, and VMs that you explicitly pair. Open files, run permitted commands, inspect logs, troubleshoot issues, and return real machine output through an authenticated hosted MCP — without exposing an anonymous remote shell.

Could you build this?
No Building a secure cross-platform remote execution and agent relay tool requires deep systems programming, OS-level security sandboxing, robust daemon architecture, and defense against remote code execution vulnerabilities.
What it would actually take: Requires lightweight client daemons written in Rust or Go for Windows, macOS, and Linux handling mutual TLS connections via WebSockets to an orchestration relay. The architecture needs rigorous permission enforcement, secure token pairing, command allowlisting/sandboxing (e.g., eBPF, AppContainer), and high-security infrastructure audits to prevent malicious command execution.
