Cron Worker Guardrails

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This is an instruction-only checklist for making cron and background workers safer, with no executable code or hidden install behavior.

Safe to install as a guidance skill. Before applying it to real scheduled jobs, review any scripts an agent creates, keep cron jobs narrowly scoped and idempotent, and require explicit approval for deletion, persistent configuration changes, or control-plane mutations.
