Best for
  • AI coding agents primarily working in the Python ecosystem.
  • Developers looking to save tokens when integrating development tools.
  • Scenarios requiring reliable integration with ruff, mypy, pip, uv, black, pytest.
  • 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
  • Projects that do not use Python tools.
  • Tasks requiring interactive terminal sessions (e.g., certain pytest debug modes).
  • Environments without Node.js 20+ or npm.
  • 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
  • Execute Python tools (ruff, mypy, pip, uv, black, pytest).
  • Access filesystem to run these tools.
  • Network access if pip/uv require it.
  • 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
  • Executing arbitrary Python tools may have unintended side effects (e.g., installing packages).
  • Tool results may be inaccurate if environment paths are not correctly configured.
  • Dependency on external tool versions that may alter output formats.
  • 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
