Watch out for

• It can start Devin sessions that use your quota

  Each session is a Devin agent working on your repos, and it counts against your plan's usage. Check what the assistant starts, and set a usage limit on sessions where you can. docs.devin.ai

• It can delete playbooks, knowledge and schedules

  The manage tools include delete, and Devin documents no read-only switch. Ask the assistant to confirm before it removes anything. docs.devin.ai

• A personal token acts as you everywhere

  A personal access token has your permissions in every Devin organization you can reach. For shared setups, use a service user key with a narrow role. docs.devin.ai

• Repo questions are answered by Devin's service

  Answers about private repos come from Cognition's servers, over the repos your account has indexed. docs.devin.ai
