Risk Consideration

The following risks should be considered when using ell:

  • The prompts are sent to LLM backends, so be careful with sensitive information.
    • A redaction plugin (#14) is available to redact sensitive information, but it is not foolproof. For enhanced desensitization, use your own plugin or call third-party softwares.
  • The output of LLMs is not guaranteed to be correct or safe.
  • In record mode, all your input and output history are written to /tmp/tmp.xxxx and are readable by root user.
  • LLM can be tuned or prompted to return deceptive results, e.g. manipulating your terminal
  • Unexpected exit of record mode may cause the history file to remain in /tmp/.
  • Password input is not recorded by script, so it is safe to type sudo or ssh passwords in terminal.
