## Prompt (copy into Grok)
Collect the list of devices on your home network. Set up Tailscale Access controls to restrict Grok Bot access to necessary devices and ports. Use SSH with an independent, low-privilege account. Use a read-only health interface on the NAS. Determine if the Grok Bot successfully connected to your home network and accessed local AI. Return the status of the Grok Bot's automated tasks. Limit yourself to 1 hour of setup and testing.

## What happened
A user connected a Grok Bot to their home network using Tailscale, accessed their local AI, and automated tasks, but had a weak security setup and didn't practice disconnecting device access
## Constraints
