What it can access

- Based on its description and topics, it likely needs to run shell commands.
Before you install
- Keep tool-call approval on, and run it in a container if you can.

- Read the tool list or scripts before the first run, and keep approval prompts on for actions that write, send or delete.
- Maintained by YassWorks on GitHub, 239 stars and 18 forks. Popularity is not proof of safety.
- Last code change: Apr 5, 2026.
