What the Warp Terminal Sends Home

An analysis of Warp Terminal version 0.2026.04.01 reports that the application transmits command telemetry, including commands, outputs, working directories, shell details, and account-linked session data, to an analytics endpoint when telemetry is enabled, while its AI features send prompts alongside contextual files such as AGENTS.md, Claude skill definitions, command history, and system metadata. The investigation found that Warp routes AI requests through its own servers and may select models server-side from multiple providers, with one observed conversation involving GPT-5.2 and GLM 5. Researchers said the traffic was difficult to inspect because key API calls bypass HTTP proxy settings, TLS key logging is disabled, and AI payloads use protobuf encoding, requiring transparent TLS interception to examine them. Warp’s core terminal functions can operate offline, its telemetry is documented and non-AI telemetry can be disabled through privacy settings, and the analysis found no evidence that Warp silently uploaded project source files; however, AI interactions continue to transmit explicitly provided context regardless of the telemetry setting.
