Intercept risky rm commands on your VPS with email approval. Perfect for AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) that execute commands on production servers.

safe-rm

Email approval for risky rm commands. Built for AI coding agents on production servers.

The Problem

AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Cursor) can execute destructive commands on your server. One rm -rf gone wrong can wipe production data. You need a human-in-the-loop safety net that works without babysitting a terminal.

The Solution

safe-rm intercepts risky deletions and requires email approval before proceeding. It replaces rm on your server with a thin wrapper that detects dangerous commands, sends you an email with Approve/Deny buttons, and waits for your response before executing anything.
