Best for
  • Users of AI coding tools (Claude, Cursor, etc.) who want to reduce token usage.
  • Agents that need reliable, unambiguous Docker output for automated decision-making.
  • Developers using Docker as part of their infrastructure and wanting MCP integration in their workflow.
  • 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 interactive terminal control or full Docker CLI features (like attach, exec -it).
  • Users unfamiliar with MCP configuration or Node.js environments.
  • Users needing raw output from the Docker daemon, not structured data.
  • 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
  • Permissions to execute Docker commands, such as access to Docker socket or daemon (depending on environment).
  • Network access for npx to download npm packages or Docker images (if pulling during builds).
  • Filesystem access to read Dockerfiles or build contexts (if applicable).
  • 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
  • Running Docker commands may affect containers, images, or builds, e.g., removing containers or modifying images.
  • Misconfiguration or network issues can cause Docker commands to fail, and agents may receive incomplete structured data.
  • Using npx may introduce supply-chain risks, as remote code is downloaded and executed on each invocation.
  • 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
