ChatGPT asked for questionable Remote Desktop Commander

💬 Discussion

I've been using ChatGPT and Codex with my HA for a few months with custom MCP connector. It helped me build custom integrations and automation planning engines.

Today, while troubleshooting an issue with my Tesla planner and controller, ChatGPT Classic (non-Codex) asked to install a Remote Desktop Commander plugin.

I was perplexed considering that it knows we use Codex as our deployment pipeline which already has access to its own local mac account, computer use, and an attached browser connector.

Remote Desktop Commander also seems to be new at v1.0.0. It sounds like it's asking for full computer access as well. Has anyone used this? How shady is this?
