Best for
  • Projects using Ruby and Bundler, where AI agents need to perform code checks, dependency management, or script execution.
  • AI integrations where token savings are important.
  • 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
  • Simple Ruby script execution when structured output is not needed.
  • Interactive Ruby sessions (e.g., IRB).
  • MCP environments that do not support stdio 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
  • Execute Ruby and Bundler commands.
  • Read gem installation directories, Gemfile, and related files.
  • May create or modify gem-related files (e.g., during gem install).
  • Network access (if installing gems from remote repositories).
  • 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 Ruby commands could lead to code execution risks; improper use by agents may cause security issues.
  • Gem installation may modify the system environment; permissions must be used carefully.
  • Tool output may contain sensitive information (e.g., gem versions) that should be protected.
  • Supply chain risk: if the supply chain is compromised, installed gems could be unsafe.
  • 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
