Since 1.0.100 (19 October 2026) `--disable-client-telemetry` turns off the telemetry the CLI sends, which the command reference says doesn't affect server-side telemetry. Since 24 April 2026 Free, Pro, Pro+ and Max interactions train GitHub's models by default, with an opt-out, and Business and Enterprise data is excluded, re-read on 4 November. A fine-grained token with only the Copilot Requests permission works for CI (16). Asks before the first use of each modifying tool, deny rules that beat `--allow-all-tools`, URL and path permissions, trusted directories and enterprise managed settings. Local sandboxing is generally available since 1.0.93 (7 October 2026) and off by default, enterprises can require it fail-closed, and since 1.0.100 the sandbox allows local network access by default. Assisted Permissions, where a model approves requests it judges safe, left experimental mode in 1.0.104. The CLI still can't enforce two organisation MCP policies (17). The sandbox proxy filters hosts, sandboxed shells withhold `GITHUB_TOKEN` since 1.0.92, and content exclusion applies, but we found no prompt-injection guidance for the CLI (9). OpenTelemetry export with GenAI spans, opt-in, with enterprise capture controls since 12 October, and session logs (13). Two advisories with CVEs in 2026 and none since on OSV, re-read on 4 November, but no SECURITY.md in the repository and an expired security.txt on github.com per the 26 September check, which the proxy still refuses. We didn't check GitHub's bug bounty (10). SOC 2 isn't scored on the framework reading. 16+17+9+13+10 = 65.\n- Traycer (42): Harness reading. Code is processed in memory and not used for training, but Privacy Mode is opt-in for individuals, prompts may be logged with it off, and Sentry and PostHog 'may be enabled in release builds' (10 of 30). No approval model described in the README (8 of 20). No prompt-injection guidance (5). No audit log found (5). SECURITY.md, CodeQL, Scorecard and secret scanning (14 of 20). 10 + 8 + 5 + 5 + 14 = 42.\n\n### Transparency \u0026 trust: GitHub Copilot CLI +14\n\n- GitHub Copilot CLI (74): Proprietary licence with clear terms for running and redistributing (15). The data-use page dates the training change (24 April 2026), says which plans it covers and how to opt out, and says Business and Enterprise data isn't used, re-read on 4 November, but we didn't find retention periods for CLI sessions (18). On 15 October 2026 GitHub gave dated notice that Claude Opus 4.8, Claude Opus 5 and GPT-5.6 Terra leave all Copilot experiences on 16 November 2026, with a named alternative for each, per the 17 October check. Breaking changes are mostly marked in a dated changelog. There's no written deprecation policy or notice period, the same reading as openai-codex and gemini-cli (15). The command reference now lists `--disable-client-telemetry`, added in 1.0.100 on 19 October, so client telemetry is disclosed with an opt-out, but no page says what it sends. OpenTelemetry export is documented and opt-in (12). 15+18+15+12 = 60.\n- Traycer (60): MIT (30). README privacy section and a linked privacy policy (not read) (18 of 30). CHANGELOG.md, no deprecation policy (10). Analytics described as 'may be enabled', with no opt-out given in the README (8 of 20). 30 + 18 + 10 + 8 = 66.\n\n### Reliability: Traycer +10\n\n- GitHub Copilot CLI (55): Local-package reading. npm, Homebrew, WinGet and an install script for Linux, macOS and Windows, with PowerShell 6 or newer named for Windows, though the npm package declares no engines, per the 17 October check (20). No public CI or test suite, since the source isn't published, and the repository holds only the README, licence, changelog, install script and a container folder, per a clone on 4 November (0). About 1,900 open issues and 28 open pull requests, labelled by area and platform with a triage label and no-response automation, per the 1 October check, not re-read on 4 November (12). A dated changelog for every release, with breaking changes marked BREAKING, though they ship in 1.0.x patch versions, and 1.0.103 removed the `--no-remote` flag without the label (8). 1.0 since March 2026, at 1.0.105 on 27 October per the changelog and tag (15). Same reading as Claude Code and Cursor CLI, which are also closed source. 20+0+12+8+15 = 55.\n- Traycer (65): Local software. Builds for macOS, Linux and Windows, and package-manager publishing workflows (20). test.yml, CodeQL, OpenSSF Scorecard and secret scanning run on the repository; pass state not read (15). GitHub issues and pull requests weren't read (GitHub's pages refuse these sessions), so that line is scored absent (0). CHANGELOG.md (15). Host 1.5.3 (15). 20 + 15 + 0 + 15 + 15 = 65.\n\n### Payments \u0026 pricing: GitHub Copilot CLI +10\n\n- GitHub Copilot CLI (40): Harness reading of the published rubric. No payment protocol (0). Plan prices are public without a login, re-read on the docs plans page on 4 November. Pro $10, Pro+ $39, Max $100 a month, Business $19 and Enterprise $39 a seat, with usage past an organisation's pool at $0.01 per AI credit (20). Copilot Free includes the CLI with an allowance of AI credits and auto model selection only, and no card per the 2 October check (20). A person signs in to GitHub or creates the token (0). 0+20+20+0 = 40.\n- Traycer (30): Scored on the paid option, Traycer's own inference subscription, whose price wasn't read (0 of 20). No protocol (0). Bring-your-own-agent use is free (20). Accounts for sync and teams weren't checked, half (10). 0 + 0 + 20 + 10 = 30.\n\n### Schema \u0026 documentation: GitHub Copilot CLI +7\n\n- GitHub Copilot CLI (72): Framework reading. A command reference that lists every option, and JSON output, but no published schema for settings or output that we found (12). docs.github.com/llms.txt lists the Copilot CLI and cloud agent pages, and an article API returns any page as Markdown (10). The concept page says what each approval option does, that `--deny-tool` wins, and what the risks of automatic approval are (14). Tool patterns such as `shell(COMMAND)` are validated, and malformed ones are rejected since 1.0.x (10). Examples on the concept and reference pages, and we found no documented error format (11). A dated changelog per release with breaking changes marked (15).\n- Traycer (65): Harness reading. Mintlify docs, a protocol package and a CLI (65).\n\n### Agent ergonomics: GitHub Copilot CLI +7\n\n- GitHub Copilot CLI (72): Framework reading, adapted to a harness driven by a pipeline. `--available-tools` and `--excluded-tools` shape the tool list and `--deny-tool` removes tools, and MCP tool discovery recovers without a restart (20). `--max-autopilot-continues` caps autopilot, and a turn timeout applies to background work in `-p` (15). JSON output, and a 2026 release replaced a misleading auth error with the real cause (12). `--resume` and `--continue`, and permission prompts survive a resumed session (15). An SDK exists, per the changelog, but we didn't check its languages, and a headless run needs explicit allow flags to do anything (10).\n- Traycer (65): Harness reading. Model switching within an agent, agent-to-agent loops, a CLI and cross-device sync (65).\n\n## Score by category\n\n| Category | Weight | GitHub Copilot CLI | Traycer | Edge |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 55 | 65 | Traycer +10 |\n| Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 72 | 65 | GitHub Copilot CLI +7 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 72 | 65 | GitHub Copilot CLI +7 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 65 | 42 | GitHub Copilot CLI +23 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 40 | 30 | GitHub Copilot CLI +10 |\n| Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 77 | 75 | GitHub Copilot CLI +2 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 74 | 60 | GitHub Copilot CLI +14 |\n| Negative events | ≤15 | -8 | 0 | |\n| **Total** | | **56 · C** | **57 · C** | |\n\n## Facts side by side\n\n| Fact | GitHub Copilot CLI | Traycer |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kind | Agent harness | Agent harness |\n| Vendor | GitHub | Traycer AI |\n| Hosted endpoint | no (local only) | no (local only) |\n| Transports | | |\n| Auth | OAuth or key | None |\n| Pricing | Freemium | Free |\n| x402 | no | no |\n| Licence | Proprietary, under the licence in the repository's `LICENSE.md`.

Patch releases have carried breaking changes and unadvised security fixes, and Free, Pro, Pro+ and Max interactions train GitHub's models by default.\n\n**Traycer.** An open-source app for running several coding agents together with shared context, agent-to-agent messaging and team boards, on every desktop OS. Privacy Mode is opt-in for individuals, and the README says Sentry and PostHog may be on in release builds.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### GitHub Copilot CLI\n\n1. Pass `--deny-tool` for anything destructive. It wins over `--allow-all-tools` and `--allow-tool`\n2. Turn on the sandbox with `/sandbox enable` or `--sandbox`. It's off by default\n3. Pin the CLI version in scripts. Patch releases have removed flags such as `--no-remote`\n4. Add `--disable-client-telemetry` if client telemetry shouldn't leave the machine\n5. Move off Claude Opus 4.8, Claude Opus 5 and GPT-5.6 Terra before 16 November 2026\n\n### Traycer\n\n1. Turn on Privacy Mode if you're an individual user and don't want prompts logged\n2. CLI agents you configure send requests straight to their provider; Traycer's own inference goes through Traycer\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, GitHub Copilot CLI or Traycer?\n\nTraycer scores 57 (C) on agent readiness against GitHub Copilot CLI's 56 (C), and leads in 1 of 7 scored categories. GitHub Copilot CLI leads on schema \u0026 documentation, agent ergonomics, security \u0026 auth, payments \u0026 pricing and transparency \u0026 trust.\n\n### Are GitHub Copilot CLI and Traycer open source?\n\nNo open-source release is listed for GitHub Copilot CLI.
