## FAQ

### Will the agent move my mouse while it is working?

No, it performs background input so your mouse remains under your control.

### How do I grant permissions on macOS?

You must run the command 'munim-computer-use request-permissions' to be prompted for Accessibility and Screen Recording permissions.
