What it can access
- An AI agent decides its own next steps and calls whatever tools you give it, so its risk depends on the access you grant.
- 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.
- Pin the version you reviewed instead of always installing the latest release.
- Read the tool list or scripts before the first run, and keep approval prompts on for actions that write, send or delete.
- Maintained by iAmCorey on GitHub, 655 stars and 41 forks. Popularity is not proof of safety.
- Last code change: Oct 12, 2026.
