612 | rust-analyzer itself doesn't access the network. | 612 | == Privacy |
613 | The VS Code plugin doesn't access the network unless the nightly channel is selected in the settings. | 613 | |
614 | In that case, the plugin uses the GitHub API to check for and download updates. | 614 | The LSP server performs no network access in itself, but runs `cargo metadata` which will update or download the crate registry and the source code of the project dependencies. |
615 | If enabled (the default), build scripts and procedural macros can do anything. | ||
616 | |||
617 | The Code extension automatically connects to GitHub to download updated LSP binaries and, if the nightly channel is selected, to perform update checks using the GitHub API. For `rust-analyzer` developers, using `cargo xtask release` uses the same API to put together the release notes. | ||
618 | |||
619 | Any other editor plugins are not under the control of the `rust-analyzer` developers. For any privacy concerns, you should check with their respective developers. | ||
