Is Meet Compute System Recovery Utility safe?

Low risk

Meet Compute System Recovery Utility sends recovery-target and removable-drive details to Google Analytics when telemetry is enabled.

When Chrome metrics reporting is enabled, the recovery tool uses Google Analytics to record recovery workflow activity. Its custom dimensions include the selected Chromebook HWID or model and the selected removable drive's vendor/model, capacity, and removable status.

Part of this rating comes from analysis signals we haven't published as detailed findings yet.
