Watch out for

• It reads files you point it at

  With Docker you choose which folders to mount, and with uv it can read any absolute path the assistant gives it. Mount only the data you need. github.com

• It can open preview links in your browser

  For remote data it builds a PyCafe link and may open it. Turn off auto-open by telling the assistant not to open it. github.com
