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 use a code-hosting token (GitHub/GitLab).
Before you install
- Use a fine-grained token limited to the repos it needs.
- 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 the-open-engine on GitHub, 2,081 stars and 197 forks. Popularity is not proof of safety.
- Last code change: Oct 31, 2026.
- Open-source license: MIT.
