What the code does

We read the source, 11 h ago · rules 3dff92dd89df

Evidence

Things with no honest explanation: a promise that contradicts the code, code that runs at install time while hiding what it does, data leaving the machine.

Deletes files or strips permissions packages/toolgovern/src/classifier/util.ts:164
 *  POSIX shell actually runs -- `r""m -rf /` and `rm -rf /` execute identically -- but it does
Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Toolgovern — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Toolgovern?
Toolgovern 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 toolgovern-cli was installed 174 times last week.
How do I connect Toolgovern?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls toolgovern-cli straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Toolgovern?
The pypi package toolgovern-cli was installed 174 times in the last week. Week over week that is -4%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Toolgovern open source?
Yes — it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in Python and 0 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.
