Claude Code

Verdict: Conditional pilot · Last editorial review: not reviewed

Evidence: Claude Code is an agentic coding tool that reads your codebase, edits files, runs commands, and integrates with your development tools. Available in your terminal, IDE, desktop app, and browser.

Limitations: Terminal use means local environment configuration materially changes risk.

Required controls: least-privilege permissions, isolated branch, protected branches, mandatory human review, sandbox, command allowlist, audit logs, separate test credentials

OpenAI Codex

Verdict: Conditional pilot · Last editorial review: not reviewed

Evidence: Start Codex in a repository to explore unfamiliar code, plan a change, edit files, and run your local development tools.

Limitations: Cloud execution changes data-boundary and repo-access review.

Required controls: least-privilege permissions, isolated branch, protected branches, mandatory human review, sandbox, command allowlist, audit logs, separate test credentials
