Best for
  • Developers who prioritize local processing and privacy
  • Agents that need web tooling without per-query charges
  • Teams needing search, crawling, caching, and research in one surface
  • macOS, Linux, or Windows users with about 1.5 GB of available disk space
  • 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 seeking a fully hosted service without local browser or model downloads
  • Workflows that require guaranteed access to every anti-bot or challenge-protected site
  • Environments that prohibit public-web crawling or optional third-party LLM synthesis
  • Users who need to keep a modified network-service version closed source
  • 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
  • Local filesystem access is needed for cache, configuration, embeddings, and models under ~/.wigolo/.
  • Network access is needed to search and retrieve the public web.
  • Browser mode may start a local browser engine; Linux may require additional operating-system libraries.
  • Research, agent, and answer-format search can optionally call Gemini, Anthropic, OpenAI, Groq, Ollama, or another compatible provider.
  • Authenticated pages and page actions may require session information.
  • 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
  • Public search engines and target sites may fail, become stale, rate-limit requests, or block access; wigolo reports degradation and challenge failures in its output.
  • Datacenter IP reputation can reduce access to challenge-protected sites.
  • Optional LLM synthesis sends relevant requests to the selected provider; Ollama or another compatible local endpoint can keep synthesis local.
  • Browser and model downloads require about 1.5 GB of disk space.
  • The project uses AGPL-3.0-only; modified versions run as network services must publish their modifications.
  • 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
