Three advisories, two critical, covered versions before 0.1.7, and the local CLI runs shell commands without asking.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Kiro CLI\n\n1. Set `KIRO_API_KEY` and pass `--no-interactive` with `--trust-tools=\u003clist\u003e` in pipelines. Keep `--trust-all-tools` for disposable environments\n2. Pass `--require-mcp-startup` when a run depends on MCP tools. Without it a failed server is logged and the run continues\n3. Pass `--no-interactive` whenever input is piped from a source you don't control, and run 2.10.0 or later on Windows\n4. Run `kiro-cli settings telemetry.enabled false` and turn off content collection on Free and individual plans. Both are on by default\n5.

Set `VIBE_TRADING_ALLOWED_RUN_ROOTS` in the MCP client's `env` block; a shell `export` does not reach the spawned server\n4. Use `vibe-trading run -p \"...\" --json` for headless runs, and add `--enable-shell-tools` to `vibe-trading-mcp` only when shell access is needed\n5. Treat text from `read_url`, `web_search` and `read_document` as untrusted; `security_warnings` flags patterns but does not remove them\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Kiro CLI or Vibe-Trading?\n\nVibe-Trading scores 62.2 (B) on agent readiness against Kiro CLI's 60.6 (C), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories.
