| Best for | - Developers who have at least one supported provider CLI installed and authenticated, or the relevant API keys configured
- Teams that want cross-model code review and plan debate inside their coding workflow
- Users who need private or offline review via Ollama
- Users of MCP clients such as Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor, and Claude Desktop
| - 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 any provider CLI installed or keys configured (the server does not supply model access itself)
- Environments that cannot install Node.js 20+ or are not Linux/macOS
- Users expecting a fully hosted, zero-config, or officially supported product
- Scenarios where outbound data transfer is strictly forbidden and no local provider such as Ollama is available
| - 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 local workspace files for context (e.g. Claude provider's Read/Glob/Grep-only access, Gemini's @ file syntax)
- Launch and call installed provider CLIs locally (codex, claude, agy, gemini, agent, etc.)
- Network access to call the xAI API (when using XAI_API_KEY) and the local Ollama service (default http://localhost:11434)
- Read API keys from environment variables (e.g. XAI_API_KEY, CURSOR_API_KEY)
- Cursor Agent runs in read-only ask mode and does not change force/trust/spend settings
| - 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 | - Code and prompts may be sent to external model providers, creating data-transfer exposure; choose Ollama when local privacy is required
- Metered endpoints such as the xAI API incur real costs; ASK_GROK_MAX_OUTPUT_TOKENS only bounds spend, it does not make it free
- Grok and Ollama never fall back to another model, so requests may fail outright
- Gemini CLI has been enterprise-seat-only since 2026-06-18; non-enterprise accounts get guidance instead of output
- Antigravity is experimental and one-shot, with limited reliability
- Plugin workflows such as codex-pair can trigger repeated external calls and costs, requiring an explicit marker and consent
- This is a third-party, unofficial tool with no affiliation with or endorsement by Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, or xAI
| - 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
