These checks feed into two things: redacting any embedded credentials before a URL is shown, and deciding whether a URL should be trusted.\n\n**Why**\n\nMalicious repositories or links sometimes disguise a URL so it looks like it points to a trusted host when it actually points somewhere else, potentially exposing credentials. This hardens Claude Code against that kind of spoofing.\n\n- Area: Permissions\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5"}
