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 read or send messages on your accounts.
Before you install
- Use a test account first; check which scopes its token asks for.
- 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 nanocoai on GitHub, 31,066 stars and 12,687 forks. Popularity is not proof of safety.
- Last code change: Oct 30, 2026.
- Open-source license: MIT.
