What the code does

We read the source, 20 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.

const METADATA_IPV4 = new Set<string>(["169.254.169.254"]);
Escalates privileges packages/cmdguard/src/rules.ts:241
  if (fw === "doas") {
const METADATA_IPV4 = new Set<string>(["169.254.169.254"]);
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.

Installs itself into autostart packages/cmdguard/src/rules.ts:531
      return finding("CMD-CRONTAB-OVERWRITE", "medium", idx, "crontab -r removes the crontab", snippet);

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

We found things in this code

Code changes quietly between releases, and nobody reads the diff of a dependency. We do, on every release — watch Agent Toolbox and you get told the day something new turns up.

Agent Toolbox — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Agent Toolbox?
Agent Toolbox 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 npm package agentoolbox-mcp was installed 39 times last week.
How do I connect Agent Toolbox?
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 agentoolbox-mcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Agent Toolbox?
The npm package agentoolbox-mcp was installed 39 times in the last week. Week over week that is -18%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Agent Toolbox open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript 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.
