The bubblewrap environment builds its `bwrap` command without `--clearenv` or `--unshare-net`, so commands inherit the host environment, model keys included, and can send them out over the network after a prompt injection in task content. Confirmed in src/minisweagent/environments/extra/bubblewrap.py at 2.4.6 and on main (3 September). The environment is opt-in and marked experimental, but it's the documented lightweight sandbox and no release fixes it, -4. https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-108592"

The status page records three critical and several major incidents on the cloud agent between 22 July and 24 September 2026, and no rate limit figures or retry guidance were found in the reviewed documentation.\n\n**mini-swe-agent.** A small, readable harness with one bash tool, a linear trajectory saved as JSON, and step, cost and wall-time limits that stop unattended runs cleanly. The default local environment has no isolation, the experimental bubblewrap sandbox passes host API keys through (CVE-2026-108592, unfixed), and the only release in 90 days was 2.4.6 on 23 July 2026.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Devin\n\n1. Use a `cog_` service-user key with the Member role. Legacy `apk_` keys fail against v3 and the MCP server with 401 or 403\n2. Set `max_acu_limit` on every session you create. Usage is metered by the work done and has no published unit rate\n3. Session creation is not idempotent in v3. After a timeout, list sessions by tag before creating again\n4. Enterprise keys and personal access tokens must send `X-Org-Id` to the MCP server. Organisation-scoped keys resolve it automatically\n5. Create scheduled work as an automation. POST to the schedules endpoint returns 403 for migrated organisations since 24 September 2026\n\n### mini-swe-agent\n\n1. Run with `-y --exit-immediately` for unattended use. Without `--exit-immediately` it waits for input when the agent finishes\n2. Set `MSWEA_CONFIGURED=true` and `MSWEA_MODEL_NAME` first, or the first run stops at an interactive setup prompt\n3. Read `info.exit_status` in the `-o` trajectory file. A run that hits its limits still exits normally\n4. For untrusted repositories use `-c mini.yaml -c environment.environment_class=docker -c environment.image=\u003cimage\u003e`. The local and bubblewrap environments both expose host variables\n5. Strip model keys from the environment commands see, since the local environment passes every host variable to each command\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Devin or mini-swe-agent?\n\nmini-swe-agent scores 56.7 (C) on agent readiness against Devin's 55.7 (C), and leads in 3 of 7 scored categories. Devin leads on schema \u0026 documentation, security \u0026 auth, maintenance \u0026 community and transparency \u0026 trust.\n\n### Are Devin and mini-swe-agent open source?\n\nNo open-source release is listed for Devin. mini-swe-agent is open source (MIT).\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/devin-vs-mini-swe-agent.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/devin-vs-mini-swe-agent.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"devin\", \"b\": \"mini-swe-agent\"}`.
