What this package can reach

Detected automatically from the source at version 0.6.3. This describes access, not safety — you decide whether it's appropriate for what the package claims to do.

  • 🤖
    Behavior — Changes how the agent thinks Modifies the system prompt, injects messages, or rewrites conversation context.
  • 📁
    Files — Reads files outside your project Touches paths beyond the working directory, such as your home folder.
  • 🔀
    Tool control — Can switch pi's tools on and off Calls setActiveTools, so it can disable built-ins — including safety-relevant ones.
  • 🛠
    Tool override — Replaces pi's built-in tools Intercepts built-ins like bash, edit, read or write — sees and can rewrite every use.
  • 🔧
    New tools — Adds model-callable tools Gives the agent new abilities. Additive and visible, unlike an override.
  • UI — Draws its own interface Renders widgets, footers, dialogs or full-screen views.

What it actually did when run

observed

Loaded in a sandbox with no network, a read-only filesystem and a recording stand-in for pi's API. This is what it called — not what the source suggests it might.

Replaces pi's built-in tool: read. Every use of that tool goes through this package instead of pi.
