Audit and clean macOS TCC privacy grants (Accessibility, Screen Recording, Camera, Microphone, Full Disk Access, AppleEvents, folder access) across ALL ~40 services and all three permission stores — not just the two System Settings shows. Clears grants stranded by uninstalled apps, which Apple's tccutil cannot reach and macOS never garbage-collects. Use when auditing privacy permissions, removing remote-access or spyware-adjacent software, investigating what can see the screen or drive the…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# tcc-grant-audit — macOS privacy grants, all stores

> **Self-Evolving skill** — every rule below was MEASURED, not inferred. If a macOS release changes one, fix this file and the scripts; see Post-Execution Reflection.

Resolve the scripts against the version Claude Code actually loaded:

```bash
SKILL="$(cc-plugin-root macos-permissions)/skills/tcc-grant-audit"
```

## Start here, always

```bash
bash "$SKILL/tcc-audit.sh" all        # READ-ONLY. Changes nothing.
```

## 🔴 The seven things that will bite you

**1. `tccutil` is not the only tool, and is the wrong one for half the job.** Reach for the whole set:

| Need                                    | Tool                                                   |
| --------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| Query any grant, any service, any store | `sqlite3 -readonly` on `TCC.db`                        |
| Is this bundle id still installed?      | `NSWorkspace` via `osascript -l JavaScript` (one line) |
| What does a grant actually pin?         | `/usr/bin/csreq -r- -t`                                |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add terrylica/cc-skills/tcc-grant-audit@sha256:2b49c7bd899ece8e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260920.cb998c2, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
