Best for
  • Web developers who need accurate, current web platform documentation
  • Coding agents aiming to reduce inaccuracies caused by outdated LLM training data
  • 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 who require strict data-privacy guarantees and want no query logging whatsoever
  • Production workflows requiring a stable, guaranteed-uptime API, since this server is experimental and may be withdrawn at any time
  • 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
  • The server itself does not require access to local files or a codebase
  • Using the remote server sends query content to Mozilla's servers
  • 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 README states that query data is stored for analytics; it is not linked to identifying user information, but private details a user shares with the LLM could inadvertently be included in logged queries
  • As an experimental project, the server may be withdrawn at any time, making it unsuitable for dependencies requiring long-term stability
  • Use of the remote server requires compliance with Mozilla's Acceptable Use Policy
  • 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
