RCCP - Remote Claude Code Control Plane

Introduction

As AI coding agents become more powerful, security becomes increasingly important. This guide covers best practices for using Claude Code safely in enterprise environments.

Principle of Least Privilege

Always configure your agents with the minimum permissions necessary:

**File Access**: Restrict which directories the agent can modify

**Command Execution**: Whitelist allowed shell commands

**Network Access**: Limit outbound network requests

Approval Policies

RCCP's policy engine lets you define granular approval rules:

Auto-Approve (Low Risk)

Reading files

Running tests

Formatting code

Adding comments

Require Approval (Medium Risk)

Modifying source files

Running build commands

Creating new files

Always Deny (High Risk)

Accessing credential files

Running deployment scripts

Modifying CI/CD configs

Audit Logging

Enable comprehensive logging to track all agent activities:

Who approved what actions

When actions were taken

What files were modified

Full event timeline

Team Management

For enterprise teams:

Use SSO integration

Define role-based access

Set up team-wide policies

Monitor usage across devices

Conclusion

Security doesn't have to slow you down. With the right policies in place, you can safely leverage AI coding agents while maintaining control and visibility.
