# JetBrains plugin folder trust
Snyk Open Source may automatically execute code on your computer to obtain additional data for analysis. This includes invoking the package manager, for example, pip, Gradle, Maven, Yarn, npm, and so on, to get dependency information. Invoking these programs on untrusted code that has malicious configurations may expose your system to malicious code execution and exploits.
To safeguard against using the extension on untrusted Projects, the Snyk plugin asks for Project trust before allowing you to run any scans against your code. When in doubt, do not proceed with a scan.
Snyk extension prompt to trust a project
After a single Project trust is granted, Snyk will not ask for trust on the opened Project folder and its subfolders again. To revoke an existing folder trust, manually edit the `TRUSTED_PATHS` option in the `snyk.settings.xml` located in the [JetBrains IDE configuration options directory](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/directories-used-by-the-ide-to-store-settings-caches-plugins-and-logs.html#config-directory).
Snyk recommends using the built-in [Trusted Projects](https://plugins.jetbrains.com/docs/intellij/trusted-projects.html) provided in the IntelliJ platform version 2021.2.4/2021.3.1 and higher for an extra layer of security.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.snyk.io/developer-tools/integrations/snyk-ide-plugins-and-extensions/jetbrains-plugin/jetbrains-plugin-folder-trust.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
