What's your rationale behind that? Probably "GETINFO address"?

Would that be worth adding to Tails design doc? Haven't seen it there.

You might be interested in the solution I came up with for Whonix. It's
called Control Port Filter Proxy. [1] In essence, "wretch a proxy in
between Tor Browser and control port, allow a few hand selected, white
listed control port commands, discard the rest". I'd be interested in
your thoughts about that as well.

Cheers,
