What the code does

We read the source, 3 d ago · rules 995398eba69f

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.

File ships in the package but is absent from the source [пакет] src/rlm_tools/setup_cli.py:1

этот файл ставится пользователю, но в репозитории его нет

Executes code built at runtime src/rlm_tools/sandbox.py:118, [пакет] src/rlm_tools/sandbox.py:118

                    exec(code, self._namespace)

Runs an external command [пакет] src/rlm_tools/setup_cli.py:41

    result = subprocess.run(command, capture_output=True, text=True, check=False)

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

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

RLM Tools — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for RLM Tools?

RLM Tools 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 rlm-tools was installed 49 times last week.

How do I connect RLM Tools?

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 rlm-tools straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

How many people use RLM Tools?

The pypi package rlm-tools was installed 49 times in the last week. Week over week that is -25%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.

Is RLM Tools open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python and 9 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.
