Why The Everything asks for each permission
Last updated: 2026-07-18
The Everything requests only the permissions it needs to act inside your browser on your behalf. Here’s what each one is for.
| Permission | Why the Extension needs it |
|---|---|
scripting / activeTab | To read the content of the page you're actively working on and perform the actions you ask for on it. |
tabs / tabGroups | To know which tab and window you're in so actions happen in the right place. |
webNavigation | To follow page navigations so a multi-step task continues on the right page. |
debugger | To reliably observe and control page elements for automation tasks that ordinary content scripts can't perform. Screenshots and OCR captured this way are processed locally and are not uploaded to our servers. |
nativeMessaging | To communicate with the local companion agent installed on your own device, which runs deeper inspection and OCR locally. |
Host access to localhost / 127.0.0.1 | To talk to that local companion agent over a loopback connection on your own device. |
Host access to login.microsoftonline.com | To sign you in securely through Microsoft's hosted login. We only receive an identity token — never your password. |
Host access to specific connected business platforms | The Extension includes access to the specific business platform(s) it is built to assist with, so it can read and act on the pages you are working in there. |
Optional access to other sites (<all_urls> / https://*/*) | Requested only at runtime, and only when you grant it, so the assistant can help on the specific additional sites you choose. Nothing is accessed automatically. |
identity | To sign you in securely. We never see your password. |
storage / unlimitedStorage | To save your settings and working data locally. |
sidePanel | To show the assistant in the browser side panel. |
alarms | To schedule background maintenance tasks. |
offscreen | To run required background processing. |
notifications / downloads (optional) | Requested only if you use features that need them. |
What we do not do
The debugger permission and optional access to other sites are used solely to let your own assistant act on pages you explicitly direct it to. We do not collect your browsing content for advertising, we do not sell it, and the Extension contains no advertising or third-party analytics code. Raw screenshots, OCR text, the values you type into fields, and full page source are not uploaded to our servers.
