Our report seeks to answer some of our questions for seven of the most popular agentic code editors and plugins. By intercepting and analysing their network flows across a set of standardised tasks, we aim to gain insight into the behaviour, privacy implications, and telemetry patterns of these tools in real-world scenarios. Incidentally, a side-effect was running into OWASP LLM07:2025 System Prompt Leakage for three of the chosen coding agents. You can see the system prompts in the appendix.
