| Best for | - AI coding agents that need local code intelligence.
- Teams requiring cross-file call resolution, architecture analysis, or incremental indexing.
- Users who prefer a pure-C stdio server with local persistent storage.
| - 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 requiring a built-in large language model or cloud-hosted code analysis.
- Users unable to build from source or provide a C/C++ build environment.
- Clients requiring SSE or streamable-http transport.
| - 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 | - Read access to the repositories and Git changes being indexed.
- Local write access for the SQLite graph database and configuration in the cache directory.
- When installing or configuring supported agents, write access to agent configuration, instruction files, skills, and hooks.
- Write access to Architecture Decision Records when managing ADRs.
| - 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 | - The tool reads the codebase and may write to agent configuration files.
- The fork has no prebuilt binaries; building compiles many vendored grammars.
- Do not run the binary's update subcommand because it pulls the official upstream release and overwrites the integrated build.
- Deleting a project or local cache removes the corresponding graph data, but not the source code.
| - 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
