1Password TeamIs it not prudent for users to verify that [the 1Password CLI] is disabled?
Not particularly, no. The 1Password CLI needs to be installed separately – it isn't bundled with the 1Password app. More info on that here: Get started with 1Password CLI Developer # Install.
As such, if you haven't deliberately installed the 1Password CLI alongside the main 1Password app, then turning on that "Connect with 1Password CLI" switch isn't going to do anything, considering there's nothing it can "talk to".
Using a hypothetical situation as an example: If you didn't install the 1Password browser extensions, then it would be the same situation with the "Connect with 1Password in the browser" switch on the Browser tab of 1Password's Settings – nothing changes, because the other end of that link isn't there.
Both "ends" of each of these links (to 1Password in the browser, the 1Password CLI, or Service Accounts) need to be present and active for any of these switches to have any effect.
I hope that clarifies things, but I'll be able to answer any questions.
