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 aaif-goose on GitHub, 56,068 stars and 6,528 forks. Popularity is not proof of safety.
- Last code change: Nov 1, 2026.
