NeuroShield guides

What your AI coding agents can do without asking

Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and Copilot read your files, run commands and load MCP servers, hooks and skills. Here's where each one keeps its settings, what in them lets it act on its own, and how to close it.

NeuroShield, part of DriveScape One's Shields, reads every agent on your computer and each project they work in.

Read only

It reads settings files and never runs your agents, their MCP servers or their scripts.

Nothing leaves this computer

The check runs locally. No account, no upload, no AI inside: fixed, published rules.

Nothing changes without your OK

Where a safe fix exists, Fix It for Me makes it after you confirm, with a backup and Undo.

Questions

Is NeuroShield an AI?

No. It reads files and applies fixed rules we publish, so the same settings always give the same answer. Nothing is sent to a model or a server.

Does it work on Windows and Linux?

Yes. NeuroShield reads the same agents on macOS, Windows and Linux. GhostShield, the other half of Shields, is macOS only.

Will it change my settings?

Only when you press Fix It for Me on one item and confirm. It keeps a copy first, and Undo puts the file back.

See your own agents

The check is free: how many agents you have and what they can do. Details and fixes come with Shields.
