Does undoing the file reverse an applied migration?

No. Restoring a migration file does not change database state. Use a reviewed database recovery process.

Can an agent run commands without asking?

Writes, commands and spend outside your permissions file wait for approval. The model cannot grant itself permission.

Where do my prompts go?

A local model runs on your Mac. A hosted provider receives the prompts you send it and bills you directly. Choose the route the work permits.

Draft on your Mac. Apply when you say so.

Written for engineers preparing schema migration files.

Open the repository that holds your migration files. The agent drafts the SQL as a file you can diff, and every command outside your permission rules waits for you, including one that would reach a database.

The draft is a file with a history. Running it is a separate decision that stops at the gate, and any git command that could lose work stops for an approval card.

What it does for this job

Free Bandicot core
The free plan has every capability for one profile. Bring a provider key, a local model, or both; a provider's own bill stays yours.
A trusted harness around the model
Bandicot gives every agent a project, tools, a session that survives restarts, approvals, and a clear place to stop.
Projects that hold the work
Keep files, context, plans, and decisions with the project instead of losing them in a disposable chat.
Durable work sessions
Close the window, restart, or pick up from another of your Macs without turning the work into a brand-new conversation.

Worth it, in four lines

What you get: Migration drafts with source history and deliberate command approval.
Why it holds: The permissions file gates commands outside the rules you set, and git commands that can lose work stop for an approval card.
How soon: Start with the repository holding the migration files.
What you stop doing: No mistaking an agent draft for permission to run it.

What is true today

Each line says whether it ships now or is still being built, so you never buy a promise.

Approval before writes
An agent asks before it writes, runs or spends outside the rules you set; the rules live in one permissions file.

The whole idea in one line

An agent with write access is only useful if a mistake costs one click.

The permissions file gates commands outside the rules you set, and git commands that can lose work stop for an approval card.
