Best for
  • Teams that already run Ansible Automation Platform and hold a valid AAP authentication token
  • Ops and automation engineers who want MCP clients to call AAP APIs with role- and permission-limited tool access
  • Offline or customized environments that need OpenAPI specs loaded from local files or custom URLs
  • Engineering teams scaling AI coding agents while controlling spend
  • Platform teams that need auditable, rollback-aware agent execution records
  • Organizations using multiple agents (Claude, Codex, Gemini) under one governed flow
Not for
  • Users without an AAP instance or a valid token
  • Clients that require stdio local-process transport (this service is an HTTP endpoint)
  • Users expecting write operations to be enabled by default (writes require ALLOW_WRITE_OPERATIONS=true)
  • Developers who just want a simple code-completion helper without run governance
  • Teams unwilling to accept local JSONL run records with HMAC signing
  • Environments without a supported adapter (Claude/Codex/Gemini CLIs, direct provider, or verifier-only)
Required permissions
  • A valid AAP authentication token (Authorization: Bearer or BEARER_TOKEN_OAUTH2_AUTHENTICATION)
  • A token with permission to access the AAP services in use
  • Write operations are disabled by default and require ALLOW_WRITE_OPERATIONS=true
  • Network access to the AAP base URL, or read access to configured local OpenAPI files
  • Read/write access to the configured repo root (writable scope restrictable via --allow-path/--deny-path)
  • Ability to invoke the chosen agent CLI (Claude/Codex/Gemini, etc.) and its underlying model account
  • Local disk writes for run records, receipts, and share outputs (share/run-receipt., etc.)
  • Execution of user-configured verifier commands (e.g. npm test)
Risks and side effects
  • Setting ignore-certificate-errors: true for development disables HTTPS certificate validation, enabling man-in-the-middle risk
  • With ALLOW_WRITE_OPERATIONS enabled, write operations allowed by the token can be performed and may modify or delete AAP resources unintentionally
  • The token appears in plain text on the command line, in environment variables, or in client configuration and may leak
  • Available tools and permissions depend on token permissions and toolset configuration; misconfiguration can expose more operations than intended
  • Verifier commands are executed; poorly chosen verifier commands carry security risk despite preflight policy checks
  • Cost and token figures may be estimates (labeled with provenance) and should not be treated as settled accounting
  • Receipt integrity must be verified before use as trustworthy evidence; missing rollback evidence is flagged as EVIDENCE_BOUNDARY
  • Policy defaults come from martin.config.yaml and can be overridden by CLI flags; misconfiguration can loosen safety boundaries
