Workspace event contents may enter terminal records or persist in local JSON files
Source references: 3The command streams events as NDJSON and can write every event to a chosen directory; the example subscribes to newly created chat messages. Event payloads may contain message content and user or space identifiers.
Other people may read the event data through shared terminal logs, agent-session records, backups, or an output directory with broad permissions.
The Skill explicitly streams Workspace events as NDJSON and can write every event to a local directory; its example subscribes to chat-message creation events. If the user enables `--output-dir` or terminal output is logged, event payloads may remain in local files or logs. The source does not show the payload schema, so it does not prove message bodies are included. Users can ask for documented fields and retention behavior and restrict output to a protected temporary directory.
