Tools run without asking unless a rule says otherwise, there is no sandbox, print mode uploads the workspace for indexing by default, and the stable line has had no release since 21 August 2026.\n\n**MiniMax Code.** An MIT-licensed terminal coding agent with a headless mode that returns versioned JSON, documented exit codes and an ACP server, and telemetry off by default. It's pre-1.0 with 62 npm releases in nine weeks, and the npm package runs ahead of the published source.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Auggie CLI\n\n1. Pass `--max-turns` with `--print` in pipelines to bound how many turns, and so how much usage, a run can take\n2. Commit deny rules to .augment/settings.json before an unattended run. Tools no rule matches follow the CLI's implicit behaviour, which the docs don't define\n3. Add secrets and data directories to .augmentignore before the first print-mode run, because indexing uploads the workspace by default\n4. Use a service account token in CI on team and Enterprise plans. A personal session from `auggie token print` runs with that user's integrations\n5. Pin the version in CI. `latest` is 0.x, while `preview` and `daemon` carry 1.x prereleases whose permission rules ignore some legacy tool names\n\n### MiniMax Code\n\n1. Run `mcode exec --cwd \u003crepo\u003e --output-format json --timeout 10m --max-steps 50` and check both the exit code and the JSON `status`\n2. Keep `--permission full` and `off` for a container or throwaway workspace. The default `smart` fails when it would need a person\n3. Set `MCODE_PROVIDER_API_KEY` and add a provider for BYOK. M Plan models need a browser sign-in with `mcode login --region global`\n4. Set `MINIMAX_DATA_DIR` per CI runner. Keys and sessions live in `~/.minimax` by default\n5. Pin a version. npm published 62 releases in nine weeks and the public source trails it\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Auggie CLI or MiniMax Code?\n\nMiniMax Code scores 67.5 (B) on agent readiness against Auggie CLI's 50.8 (D), and leads in every scored category.\n\n### Are Auggie CLI and MiniMax Code open source?\n\nNo open-source release is listed for Auggie CLI.
