Visible usage signals are shown for discovery only, not as proof of safety.

Best for

  • Complex planning and debugging that benefits from revisions and branches
  • MCP demonstrations with a small single-purpose tool surface
  • Local workflows that do not require an external SaaS integration

Not ideal for

  • Simple questions where repeated reasoning calls add latency and tokens
  • Applications that should not surface or persist detailed reasoning traces
  • Workflows needing domain data or external actions

Avoid if

  • The host records tool arguments and sensitive reasoning must remain undisclosed
  • Strict token or latency budgets cannot tolerate repeated tool calls
  • Package execution through npx is prohibited by supply-chain policy

Trade-offs

  • Its single-tool scope keeps permissions small but provides no external facts or actions.
  • Structured thought history supports revision while increasing context use and potential telemetry exposure.
  • The package is easy to run with npx, while stricter environments may require a pinned version or container digest.
