No free option, status page or security contact was found, and the plugin's tool definitions weren't readable. **Dots.** Actions that affect accounts or share information pass an automatic review, and custom rules can require approval or a hand-off. Dots is a beta on Pro plans from $100 a month, and no status page, terms, privacy policy or way to delete individual saved notes was found in the pages we could read. ## Before you call either ### Boski 1. Use the Boski plugin only to read the owner's saved preferences and constraints. It can't save changes. 2. Ask the owner to finish Boski's onboarding interview if the plugin says it's incomplete, then retry. ### Dots 1. Say what may be sent. Asking a dot to draft replies does not permit sending them, and an action outside a stated scope needs another decision 2. Stop three things separately. Pause stops the main task only, delegated tasks stop in Activity and recurring tasks in Scheduled, and completed actions are not undone 3. Connect each thing separately. A messaging channel grants no access to an inbox, an app or a computer 4. Sign out of websites and disconnect apps yourself when removing access. Revoking dots access or disconnecting an app does not delete information already obtained 5. Keep the connected computer online with the ChatGPT app open for local work. Only one personal computer can be connected at a time ## Questions ### Which is better for AI agents, Boski or Dots?

Boski competes with LocalGhost, which Anchor Terminal's founder builds. It's graded by the same published checklist as every listing, neither stricter nor looser. Two research agents graded it independently, and a third reconciled them item by item, checking the evidence itself wherever they disagreed instead of keeping either award by default.
