All the cited proof is anxiety (uninstall spikes, developer-forum upvotes, boycott threads), not anyone paying to monitor AI data flows. GitGuardian already owns the secrets-detection budget line and can bolt on an AI-egress rule far faster than a solo dev can reverse-engineer the encrypted, churning request formats of Copilot/Cursor/Claude Code. Copilot and Cursor use SSL certificate pinning and encrypted telemetry; a local CLI proxy cannot MITM intercept the traffic without deploying custom root certificates, which developers will not install and which breaks the 'lightweight' premise.

PIVOT · 53/100. Real demand, but the shape needs to change.
All the cited proof is anxiety (uninstall spikes, developer-forum upvotes, boycott threads), not anyone paying to monitor AI data flows. GitGuardian already owns the secrets-detection budget line and can bolt on an AI-egress rule far faster than a solo dev can reverse-engineer the encrypted, churning request formats of Copilot/Cursor/Claude Code. Copilot and Cursor use SSL certificate pinning and encrypted telemetry; a local CLI proxy cannot MITM intercept the traffic without deploying custom root certificates, which developers will not install and which breaks the 'lightweight' premise.
Three of the developer forum-thread CTOs sign a paid pilot (deposit, not a free audit) to monitor their team's AI egress within a week. I can build a proof-of-concept CLI proxy that successfully intercepts and logs a cleartext prompt from Cursor or Copilot without breaking the tool's core functionality, tested by 5 engineers this week.
Every time a developer uses Copilot, Claude Code, or ChatGPT, chunks of proprietary code, environment variables, and internal architecture details flow to third-party servers — and nobody tracks what's being sent. The Claude Code leak (2,067 developer-forum points) proved that even AI companies can't protect their own source code. Copilot was caught injecting ads into PRs without consent. An ERP vendor was recorded screen-sharing with an AI note-taker capturing everything. ChatGPT's trust collapse (295% uninstall spike, 775% one-star review surge) shows mainstream users are waking up, but…
PIVOT at 53/100 on Skeptral. The kill-shot: “All the cited proof is anxiety (uninstall spikes, developer-forum upvotes, boycott threads), not anyone paying to monitor AI data flows. GitGuardian already…”
