What it does

  • Searches public sources for your own name and accounts
  • Reviews breach lists and app access granted from your inbox
  • Builds a data broker removal checklist
  • Writes a weekly brief of current scams weighted to your risk profile
  • Keeps sensitive identifiers masked in a local ledger

Your approval boundaries

Approval required

These actions always wait for your yes:

  • Sending any removal request to a data broker
  • Revoking app access to your accounts
  • Checking anyone other than yourself

You decide what happens next.

More about this workflow

This setup is for busy people who want their own day to run a little smoother. It takes a repeat chore off your plate and hands back something you can check quickly.

First, it searches public sources for your own name and accounts. Next, it reviews breach lists and app access granted from your inbox. Then it builds a data broker removal checklist. After that, it writes a weekly brief of current scams weighted to your risk profile. Finally, it keeps sensitive identifiers masked in a local ledger. It works with your web search, web fetch, email and notes app, each on its own login with limited access.

You get the prep work done and waiting for you. The agent stops and asks for your yes before sending any removal request to a data broker, revoking app access to your accounts and checking anyone other than yourself, and says plainly if a step cannot be undone.

Run your workflow

Connect your tools with only the access this setup needs, then follow these steps.

Steps

Do these in order. Test on old data before it touches live work.

  1. 1Set up Web search. Keep it to public search results only.
  2. 2Set up Web fetch. Keep it to public pages, no logged-in sessions.
  3. 3Connect Gmail with its own login, not yours. Grant read-only plus compose (drafts) scopes.
  4. 4Connect Notion with its own login, not yours. Grant only the pages it needs, read first.
  5. 5Paste the prompt where your harness takes instructions. See the note under the Copy button.
  6. 6Do a dry run on old or test data first. Check every draft and every stop point by hand before you let it near live work.
  7. 7Read its log after the first real run. Only widen access once a week of runs looks clean.

Safeguards and trust score

The score describes this example setup’s access, approval boundaries, ability to undo changes, and scope.

Access18 / 30

Can draft things that send or spend, so it sits close to risky actions.

Human approval30 / 30

Waits for a yes on: sending any removal request to a data broker, revoking app access to your accounts, checking anyone other than yourself.

Undo and logs14 / 20

Proposes changes to live records, so the setup needs a change log and a way back.

Scope16 / 20

Runs on its own login across 4 tools. Fewer connections means a smaller blast radius.

How to raise it

  • Access: Take away its ability to send, post or spend. Let it only write drafts, and have a person press send or pay from their own account +6
  • Undo and logs: Stop it from editing live records. Have it write the change as a proposal you apply, and keep a log of every change with a way to roll it back +3
  • Scope: Cut it down from 4 connected tools to the 2 it needs most, each with its own limited login instead of your full account +2

Do all of these to reach 89, up from 78.
