Tasks near your credentials

You ask: Check which AWS region my CLI is configured for.

Reading config is fine; reading secrets asks first.

What AgentsFence does

~/.aws/config is an ordinary read.
~/.aws/credentials, ~/.ssh, ~/.hermes/.env and similar files ask before they are read, even in a read-only task, and even when reached through a shell command.

Add your own secret locations under guards.secret_paths in your config.
