Could you build this?
Partial A menu-bar app that inspects AI agent permissions and runs scam checks with a local LLM is buildable, but a trustworthy macOS security tool needs system-level expertise and rigorous threat modeling.
What it would actually take: The app would be a native Swift/SwiftUI menu-bar client that reads agent config files, enforces Touch ID gating, and optionally runs a local model via Ollama or similar. The hard parts are reliable detection of what agents can actually do (sandbox, entitlements, and tool permissions), avoiding false security assurances, and a security audit. That calls for macOS security engineers and an independent review.
