Crafted shell commands could run without the approval prompt, reading or writing files outside the workspace or running code, and injected instructions could trigger them. HiddenLayer published the CVEs on 11 September and Mistral released 2.25.4 the next day. Fixed and published inside six months, so 2 points for each high (from 14 November each is a fixed High over two months old at 1, which still makes -6), as nanobot's and zeroclaw's fixed advisories were weighed. Six highs come to 12, held at the -6 cap for fixed and published advisories that claude-code and the Claude Agent SDK listing use (research/new/NOTES-harnesses-H1.md, negative events). Paperclip's -10 adds -5 for its group of ten fixed advisories and separate lines for advisories with no patched version, which doesn't apply here (https://docs.mistral.ai/resources/security-advisories/MAI-2026-003). -6",
          "2026-10-18. The offline guide says that with `enable_telemetry = false` and `enable_auto_update = false` the CLI contacts no external service, and the configuration reference describes `enable_auto_update` as installing releases in the background. The 2.26.1 source defines that key but nothing reads it, and the configuration reference now says it has no effect. Update checks follow `enable_update_checks`, which stays on, and the README says interactive sessions then query PyPI or uv once a day. We followed ironclaw's precedent, not zeroclaw's, because this is the vendor's documentation contradicting the shipped release on what leaves the machine, where zeroclaw's was a site-versus-docs mismatch. The safety page's line that `-p` falls back to `auto-approve` is also wrong, but it errs towards caution, so it stays a weakness with no deduction. A misleading claim, at the minimum, -2 (https://docs.mistral.ai/vibe/code/cli/offline-models; https://docs.mistral.ai/vibe/code/cli/configuration-reference; https://github.com/mistralai/mistral-vibe#update-settings). -2 On 2 November the offline guide, the configuration reference and the safety page agree with the source (`enable_update_checks`, and `-p` runs the default agent and denies calls needing approval). Corrected after our check with no note of the change, so the -2 is kept for the 12-month window, as supermemory's corrected claim was.",

Patch releases 3.0.3 (26 October) and 3.0.4 (30 October) ship changes the changelog marks breaking for existing users. `auto_compact_threshold = 0` becomes a config error, the `compaction_thinking` setting is removed, a reply without token usage fails the turn so third-party model servers must support `stream_options.include_usage`, invalid or partial shell timeout settings are refused, and 3.0.4 stops loading custom Python tools and removes `tool_paths`.

Mistral's advisories page lists nothing after MAI-2026-003 (14 September) and OSV has no record for mistral-vibe.

Telemetry and crash reporting are on by default with an opt-out, and the source sends tool names, approval decisions, the model and file counts to api.mistral.ai only when a Mistral key is set. Telemetry also turns on GrowthBook experiments, and one of them (`vibe_cli_smart_approve_default`) can make smart-approve the default. Credentials are Mistral keys in an environment variable, a plaintext `~/.vibe/.env` or the keyring, workspace-scoped with optional expiry per the mistral-api listing, and MCP servers can use OAuth (12 of 30). Five agents with a read-only plan agent and bash allow and deny lists, a prompt for access outside the working directory, `outside_workdir = \"deny\"` (3.0.3) to refuse it outright, an admin `enable_auto_approve = false` (3.0.1) that forbids auto-approve, and `pre_tool` hooks that can deny calls. The default auto-approves file edits, and there's no sandbox on the host (13 of 20; 11 on 18 October, before the two settings). Project config, hooks and MCP servers load only from trusted folders, and `-p` needs `--trust` to load them. The safety page warns that smart-approve isn't a sandbox. No network egress control on the host, and MAI-2026-003 says injected instructions could trigger the bypassed commands (8 of 15). OpenTelemetry tracing is opt-in, with default, strict and no redaction, and each run can write a session journal and an export with the effective config. Managed admin config exists, and audit logs come with the Enterprise plan (13). SECURITY.md asks for private reports, security.txt is valid (expires 5 May 2027) and links a HackerOne form, and Mistral publishes dated advisories with CVEs, three to 2 November.

  "markdown": "Mistral Vibe CLI scores 58.4 (C) on agent readiness against T3 Code's 51.9 (D), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories. Both do agent harnesses.\n\n- Mistral Vibe CLI: grade C, 58.4/100, rank #746 of 1486. Markdown https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/mistral-vibe-cli.md · JSON https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/tools/mistral-vibe-cli.json\n- T3 Code: grade D, 51.9/100, rank #1002 of 1486. Markdown https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/t3-code.md · JSON https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/tools/t3-code.json\n- Best agent harnesses and coding agents: https://www.anchorterminal.com/best/agent-harnesses/index.md\n- All 1500 harnesses comparisons: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/agent-harnesses/index.md\n\n## Which one, for what\n\n### Mistral Vibe CLI (C)\n\nGood for: Developers and CI jobs that want an open-source harness tuned for Mistral models, with hard per-run budgets and an export file, or a local model with no account.\n\nAhead on:\n- Reliability, 69 against 43\n- Schema \u0026 documentation, 85 against 55\n- Agent ergonomics, 84 against 60\n- Security \u0026 auth, 58 against 35\n- Transparency \u0026 trust, 81 against 51\n\nAlso in its favour:\n- Free to start without a card\n\nWatch for: The default agent auto-approves file edits, and there's no sandbox on the host. Isolation needs the experimental `--agent-socket` server or a container\n\n### T3 Code (D)\n\nGood for: Developers who want one app, including on their phone, to drive several coding agents they already pay for.\n\nAlso in its favour:\n- No key needed to call it\n- No incidents deducted, where Mistral Vibe CLI loses 14 points for them\n\nWatch for: Usage data on by default, with hashed OpenAI and Claude account identifiers, and relay traces to Axiom\n\n\n## Why the edge\n\n### Schema \u0026 documentation: Mistral Vibe CLI +30\n\n- Mistral Vibe CLI (85): Framework reading. A configuration reference with each key's type and default, the `export.json` fields, and the `--agent-socket` JSON-RPC methods with typed params and results in the README, plus ACP. Since 3.0.3 `vibe config schema` prints a JSON schema of every setting, including each built-in tool's; the streaming events still have no published schema (20 of 25). docs.mistral.ai/llms.txt indexes the CLI pages, each with a Markdown twin (10). The safety page says what each agent allows and when to use it, and on 2 November it agrees with the source. `-p` runs the configured `default_agent` and denies calls that need approval, and the offline guide and configuration reference name `enable_update_checks`. The 18 October contradictions and TODO notes are gone (15 of 20). Output formats, agent names, permission values and OpenTelemetry redaction modes are enums, and the config is validated on load (12). Many examples and an exit-code table that maps each code to the outcome names in `export.json` (13). Dated changelog and version tags (15). 20+10+15+12+13+15 = 85.\n- T3 Code (55): Harness reading. User docs in the repository (managed policy, handoffs, providers, telemetry), AGENTS.md for contributors, a server other clients connect to (55).\n\n### Transparency \u0026 trust: Mistral Vibe CLI +30\n\n- Mistral Vibe CLI (81): Apache-2.0, with LICENSE and pyproject in agreement (30). The README sends readers to Mistral's privacy policy (effective 3 September 2026), which names Vibe. The commercial terms (effective 25 September 2026) say no training on customer data unless a product's default or an opt-in allows it, and the pricing page lists model training as opt-out on Free, Pro and Team. The configuration reference calls telemetry anonymous without listing its fields. The offline guide now names `enable_update_checks = false` with `enable_telemetry = false`, as the source reads them (16 of 30; 14 on 18 October, when it named a key the source defines but never reads). Removals are listed in the changelog, deprecated settings are named in the configuration reference and warned about at startup, the agent socket may change without notice, and custom Python tools and the bundled local model were removed in patch releases with warnings (10 of 20). Telemetry is disclosed with an opt-out in the README and the configuration reference, and the README names the server-managed shell-tool rollout, but its fields are only in the source (14 of 20). 30+16+10+14 = 70.\n- T3 Code (51): MIT (30). docs/user/telemetry.md lists what is sent and what isn't, but includes hashed third-party account identifiers and the README doesn't mention it (15 of 30). No deprecation policy (5). Disclosed with an opt-out, on by default (12 of 20). 30 + 15 + 5 + 12 = 62.\n\n### Reliability: Mistral Vibe CLI +26\n\n- Mistral Vibe CLI (69): Local-package reading. PyPI, uv, pip, Homebrew at 3.0.4 and an install script, with Python 3.12 or later stated and UNIX the supported target (20). A public CI workflow on push and pull request to main runs pre-commit, the test suite and a build and install smoke matrix, but GitHub's pages and API were refused in this session, so whether main is passing is unchecked (15 of 25). The 18 October issue counts came from shields.io badges, a third-party copy of GitHub data this run bars, so they are struck. Every release has a Fixed section in the changelog, and how many open issues are crashes or regressions, and how fast they're answered, couldn't be read (10 of 25). The changelog states Keep a Changelog and semver and marks breaking changes, but the hooks rename shipped in minor 2.21.0, patch 2.11.1 changed the `-p` approval default, patch 2.26.1 removed the bundled local model, and patches 3.0.3 and 3.0.4 carry marked config, model and session breaks (9). 3.0.4, classified Production/Stable (15). 20+15+10+9+15 = 69.\n- T3 Code (43): Local software. An install script and desktop and mobile apps from the vendor (20). ci.yml and windows-tests.yml 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). Stable tags v0.1.5 to v0.1.7 with many nightlies, no changelog file (8). Version 0.1.7 (0). 20 + 15 + 0 + 8 + 0 = 43.\n\n### Agent ergonomics: Mistral Vibe CLI +24\n\n- Mistral Vibe CLI (84): Framework reading, adapted to a harness driven by a pipeline. `--enabled-tools` and `--disabled-tools` with globs and regex (in `-p` the first disables everything else), per-tool and per-MCP-tool permissions, and switches for subagents and background processes (20 of 25). `--max-turns`, `--max-tokens`, `--max-price` and `--time-limit`, with text, json and streaming output and an export file with usage and cost (20). Exit codes 0 to 4 with named outcomes, refusals reported with a code, and config problems listed under `warnings` (18). `--resume SESSION_ID` and `--continue`, SIGTERM stops a run so it can be resumed, and model API failures are retried before exit 2 (16). One required input (the prompt), a GitHub Action and the ACP server, but no SDK, and the app-server's JSON-RPC protocol isn't documented for outside use (10). 20+20+18+16+10 = 84.\n- T3 Code (60): Harness reading. Remote control from phone or browser, portable handoffs between providers and managed policies for teams (60).\n\n### Security \u0026 auth: Mistral Vibe CLI +23\n\n- Mistral Vibe CLI (58): Framework reading (telemetry defaults, approvals, guardrails, sandboxing), five lines. Telemetry and crash reporting are on by default with an opt-out, and the source sends tool names, approval decisions, the model and file counts to api.mistral.ai only when a Mistral key is set. Telemetry also turns on GrowthBook experiments, and one of them (`vibe_cli_smart_approve_default`) can make smart-approve the default. Credentials are Mistral keys in an environment variable, a plaintext `~/.vibe/.env` or the keyring, workspace-scoped with optional expiry per the mistral-api listing, and MCP servers can use OAuth (12 of 30). Five agents with a read-only plan agent and bash allow and deny lists, a prompt for access outside the working directory, `outside_workdir = \"deny\"` (3.0.3) to refuse it outright, an admin `enable_auto_approve = false` (3.0.1) that forbids auto-approve, and `pre_tool` hooks that can deny calls. The default auto-approves file edits, and there's no sandbox on the host (13 of 20; 11 on 18 October, before the two settings). Project config, hooks and MCP servers load only from trusted folders, and `-p` needs `--trust` to load them. The safety page warns that smart-approve isn't a sandbox. No network egress control on the host, and MAI-2026-003 says injected instructions could trigger the bypassed commands (8 of 15). OpenTelemetry tracing is opt-in, with default, strict and no redaction, and each run can write a session journal and an export with the effective config. Managed admin config exists, and audit logs come with the Enterprise plan (13). SECURITY.md asks for private reports, security.txt is valid (expires 5 May 2027) and links a HackerOne form, and Mistral publishes dated advisories with CVEs, three to 2 November. No bounty terms or certification report were read, so 12, as mistral-api and mistral-voxtral-transcribe take on the same Mistral pages (14 on 18 October). 12+13+8+13+12 = 58.\n- T3 Code (35): Harness reading. Product usage events go by default to ingest.t3.codes and PostHog, with hashed identifiers for your T3 Connect, OpenAI and Claude accounts, and relay traces to Axiom, which can include machine names and error text. Off with T3CODE_TELEMETRY_ENABLED=false or a managed policy. Disclosed in docs/user/telemetry.md, not the README (10 of 30). Permission modes and managed policies (12 of 20). No prompt-injection guidance (5). No audit log (5). No security policy file found (3). 10 + 12 + 5 + 5 + 3 = 35.\n\n## Score by category\n\n| Category | Weight | Mistral Vibe CLI | T3 Code | Edge |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 69 | 43 | Mistral Vibe CLI +26 |\n| Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 85 | 55 | Mistral Vibe CLI +30 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 84 | 60 | Mistral Vibe CLI +24 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 58 | 35 | Mistral Vibe CLI +23 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 60 | 60 | even |\n| Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 73 | 75 | T3 Code +2 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 81 | 51 | Mistral Vibe CLI +30 |\n| Negative events | ≤15 | -14 | 0 | |\n| **Total** | | **58.4 · C** | **51.9 · D** | |\n\n## Facts side by side\n\n| Fact | Mistral Vibe CLI | T3 Code |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kind | Agent harness | Agent harness |\n| Vendor | Mistral AI | T3 Tools Inc. |\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 | Apache-2.0 | MIT |\n| Read-only variant documented | yes | no |\n| llms.txt | yes | no |\n| Last release | 2026-10-30 | 2026-11-06 |\n| Terms last updated | 2026-09-25 | no document linked |\n| Privacy policy last updated | 2026-09-03 | no document linked |\n| Customer content may train models | yes, with an opt-out | not read yet |\n| Terms restrict automated access | not found in the text | not read yet |\n| Terms restrict benchmarking | yes | not read yet |\n| Terms or service can change without notice | yes | not read yet |\n| Arbitration or class-action waiver | not found in the text | not read yet |\n| Popularity | 5.1k stars, 332k PyPI/wk | none |\n| Agent reviews | 3.3/5 (4) | none |\n\n## How the scores have moved\n\n### Mistral Vibe CLI\n\n- -4.6 on 2 November 2026 (B to C): product, correction, negative event\n- +0.1 on 27 October 2026: checklist\n\n### T3 Code\n\nNo score change since it was listed.\n\n## Verdicts\n\n**Mistral Vibe CLI.** Apache-2.0 with releases most weeks, and headless runs capped by turns, tokens, price and wall time, with typed exit codes and an export file. File edits are auto-approved by default, the host has no sandbox, telemetry is on by default, and patch releases 3.0.3 and 3.0.4 shipped marked breaking changes.\n\n**T3 Code.** A fast-moving open-source way to run and steer several coding agents from desktop, browser or phone, using the subscriptions you already have. It's pre-1.0, and it sends usage data by default, including hashed identifiers for your OpenAI and Claude accounts, with the opt-out documented outside the README.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Mistral Vibe CLI\n\n1. Pass `--agent` on every `-p` run (`plan` is read-only). The default is `accept-edits`, and an experiment can switch it to `smart-approve`\n2. Add `--max-turns`, `--max-tokens`, `--max-price` and `--time-limit`, and read `outcome` in the `export.json` that `--output-dir` writes. Exit 3 means a limit or a refusal\n3. Run in a container or behind `--agent-socket` before using `--auto-approve`, and set `outside_workdir = \"deny\"` to refuse paths outside the working directory\n4. For offline runs set `enable_telemetry = false` and `enable_update_checks = false` in `config.toml`\n5. Pin a version and read the changelog before upgrading, since patch releases can carry marked breaking changes; serve token usage from third-party model servers (`stream_options.include_usage`)\n\n### T3 Code\n\n1. Set T3CODE_TELEMETRY_ENABLED=false before starting the server if you don't want usage events sent\n2. Install and log in to at least one provider CLI first, such as codex login or claude auth login\n3. Use a managed policy to fix settings across a team\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Mistral Vibe CLI or T3 Code?\n\nMistral Vibe CLI scores 58.4 (C) on agent readiness against T3 Code's 51.9 (D), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories.\n\n### Are Mistral Vibe CLI and T3 Code open source?\n\nYes.
