Telemetry to PostHog is on by default and the sandbox is off, so an unattended `kilo run --auto` approves everything not denied unless both are configured first.\n\n**Mirror CLI.** Mirror CLI is Apache-2.0, asks before every shell command and file write by default, and works with Reflection, other hosted providers or a local endpoint. It is a one-day-old 0.1.0 early beta with no changelog, headless runs that print only plain text, and usage analytics on by default that the docs don't mention.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Kilo Code CLI\n\n1. Set `sandbox.enabled` to true in the global `kilo.jsonc` before `kilo run --auto`. `--auto` approves every permission request not explicitly denied\n2. Set `experimental.openTelemetry` to false, or `KILO_TELEMETRY_LEVEL` to a value other than `all`, to stop telemetry, including the conda client ID\n3. Add needed hosts to `sandbox.allowed_hosts` in global config. MCP tool calls are unavailable while network restriction is on\n4. Without `--auto` a non-interactive run rejects every permission prompt and exits 1\n5. Confine subagent writes with a session-level edit rule. From 7.8.13 a custom agent's own `edit` denies no longer bind the subagents it starts\n\n### Mirror CLI\n\n1. Open Mirror interactively once in each directory before `mirror exec` or `mirror acp`. Both refuse to run until the usage and folder notices are accepted\n2. Pass `--approval-mode auto` to `mirror exec` only inside a container or VM. In manual mode, calls that need approval fail, and approval isn't a sandbox\n3. Set `--max-iterations` on unattended runs. Turns are unlimited by default\n4. Check the result with your own tests. `exec` returns 0 whenever it prints an answer\n5. Never share logs recorded with `--log-level debug`. The docs say they contain request headers with the API key\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Kilo Code CLI or Mirror CLI?\n\nKilo Code CLI scores 73 (BB) on agent readiness against Mirror CLI's 54.2 (C), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories. Mirror CLI leads on payments \u0026 pricing.\n\n### Are Kilo Code CLI and Mirror CLI open source?\n\nYes. Kilo Code CLI is open source (MIT). Mirror CLI is open source (Apache-2.0).\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/kilo-code-cli-vs-reflection-mirror.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/kilo-code-cli-vs-reflection-mirror.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"kilo-code-cli\", \"b\": \"reflection-mirror\"}`.
