Description
The Keyabse command-line interface seems to have unhindered access to the private files on my Keybase account.
Doesn't this mean that any piece of software that I install on my Mac can potentially access the private files on my Keybase account?
If that's the case, do you have any suggestions on securing Keybase accounts against this? Can I password-protect command-line access or disable the command-line interface altogether?
Thanks!

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by clarifying the Keybase CLI's access model on Mac and whether the request is for password protection, disabling CLI access, or security guidance. Done would be a documented answer or a separately scoped implementation request.
