A tool parameter reaches a dangerous call

A value the model can set ends up inside a file or shell call. That is not a flaw by itself — for a terminal server it is the job — but it is where things go wrong when it is not.

A tool parameter reaches a dangerous call history_setup_ollama_direct.model → src/cowork_history_server.py:592, history_setup_ollama.model → src/cowork_history_server.py:439, history_setup_ollama.install → src/cowork_history_server.py:383

Cowork History — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Cowork History?
Cowork History runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the pypi package cowork-history was installed 46 times last week.
How do I connect Cowork History?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls cowork-history straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Cowork History?
The pypi package cowork-history was installed 46 times in the last week. Week over week that is -35%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Cowork History open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python and 1 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
