Its default launch binds all interfaces with sign-in off and permissive CORS, there is no security policy, and two CVEs in 2026 covered a shell-tool RCE and a multi-user MCP bypass, both fixed.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Boba\n\n1. Don't plan to call Boba from another agent. It answers only text messages in the Messages app.\n2. Tell people in a group chat that messages sent to Boba may be used to train its models.\n\n### DeepTutor\n\n1. Run `deeptutor run \u003ccapability\u003e \"...\" --format json` and read the `done` event's `session_id`; pass `--session` to continue the same session\n2. Configure with `deeptutor config apply setup.json --check` first, naming keys through `api_key_env`; literal keys are rejected\n3. Before exposing it beyond one machine, enable sign-in in `auth.json`, set exact `cors_origins` and set `BACKEND_HOST=127.0.0.1` where loopback is wanted\n4. Run 1.4.10 or later. Earlier versions carry CVE-2026-51870 (shell tool RCE, fixed in 1.4.1) and CVE-2026-58168 (multi-user MCP bypass)\n5. Set `sandbox_allow_subprocess` to false where generated code must run only in the runner sidecar or bubblewrap\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Boba or DeepTutor?\n\nDeepTutor scores 62.7 (B) on agent readiness against Boba's 10.3 (F), and leads in every scored category.\n\n### Are Boba and DeepTutor open source?\n\nNo open-source release is listed for Boba.

Disclosure\n\n- Boba competes with LocalGhost, which Anchor Terminal's founder builds. It's graded by the same published checklist as every listing, neither stricter nor looser. Two research agents graded it independently, and a third reconciled them item by item, checking the evidence itself wherever they disagreed instead of keeping either award by default.\n",
