Fixed in a release, documented only as the changelog line \"harden serve token resolution against project env injection\" with no advisory, -2, as kilo-code-cli's changelog-only MCP prompt fix and docker-agent's fixed skill-file command execution took. 0.25.3's fix stopping `@{...}` file content from being read as `!{...}` shell expressions in custom commands isn't deducted, since its own design note says the expression still reached the permission check. https://github.com/QwenLM/qwen-code/commit/2c0c9fa8dc4a8ea5ec688060549e0ff0aed717b4",

The settings reference documented the default, so a misleading claim rather than undisclosed telemetry, corrected by commit 338f133 on 26 October, -2, as openmausbot's privacy policy against its default-on analytics took. https://github.com/QwenLM/qwen-code/commit/338f13366c1d86e586f7e0785942740da3503887"

A settings.schema.json in the repository, a settings reference with the type and default of each key, and an OpenAPI file for the daemon's REST API (25). llms.txt on the docs site lists the pages with a line each, though it links to HTML and the Markdown path we tried returned 404 (8). The approval-mode page says when to use each mode and the sandbox page what each method and Seatbelt profile allows (15). Approval modes, sandbox backends, filesystem and network policies are enums (13). The headless page documents json and stream-json output, and exit codes 41, 42, 44, 52, 53, 55 and 130 are documented (15). A dated changelog generated from releases (15).\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### Reliability: Qwen Code +26\n\n- Qwen Code (69): Local-package reading. npm with engines node 22 or newer (re-read in package.json at 0.26.5), Homebrew at 0.26.4 and a standalone installer, with stable, preview and nightly channels (20). Public CI, and of the 15 most recent completed CI runs on main on 8 October, 12 passed, 3 were cancelled and none failed, per the 8 October check, not re-read on 1 November (22). 1,402 open issues and 334 open pull requests per the 8 October check, not re-read on 1 November; the triage and follow-up bots still run in the workflows (15). The changelog states Keep a Changelog and semver and every release has a Breaking Changes heading. Breaking changes shipped in patch releases 0.23.4 and 0.24.1, and again in 0.26.1 (24 October, QQ bot session isolation) and 0.26.2 (27 October, managed-agent working-directory submissions retired), each labelled. All are 0.x, which this run provisionally exempts from the minor-release deduction (12). 0.26.5, pre-1.0 (0). 20 + 22 + 15 + 12 + 0 = 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: Qwen Code +25\n\n- Qwen Code (85): Framework reading, adapted to a harness driven by a pipeline. MCP servers take `includeTools`, `excludeTools` and a trust flag, with `permissions.allow`, `ask` and `deny` rules and `--exclude-tools` (20). Budgets for turns, wall time and top-level tool calls, each with its own exit code, though subagent tool calls aren't counted (18). Documented exit codes (18). `--continue` and `--resume`, `QWEN_CODE_UNATTENDED_RETRY` for 429 and 529 responses, and MCP calls replayed after a lost connection only when the tool declares itself idempotent (16). A TypeScript SDK on npm at 0.1.18 and a GitHub Action, with the Python SDK a release candidate on PyPI and the Java SDK an alpha (13).\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: Qwen Code +18\n\n- Qwen Code (53): Framework reading (telemetry defaults, approvals, guardrails, sandboxing), five lines. Usage statistics are on by default (`privacy.usageStatisticsEnabled` defaults to true in the settings schema at 0.26.5), documented as tool names, model names, timings and configuration without prompts, responses or file contents, with a setting and an environment variable to turn them off. Credentials are API keys in environment variables or settings.json (15). Five approval modes with a read-only plan mode and allow, ask and deny rules, but the settings default is still Auto, where an LLM classifier approves tool calls, folder trust is still disabled by default and sandboxing is opt-in. Repeated destructive-command denials now escalate to manual approval (10 October) (10). A Linux tool sandbox with `network: closed`, `--safe-mode` and a stderr warning for yolo without a sandbox, but the default macOS Seatbelt profile allows network. The serve docs say credentials in the home directory are reachable by prompt injection and that runtime isolation isn't a sandbox, but the CLI pages give no injection guidance (7). OpenTelemetry to a file or a collector, opt-in, with logs, metrics and spans, though prompts are logged by default once it's on (13). SECURITY.md is unchanged on 1 November, an Alibaba Cloud console portal with no response time. Two security hardening fixes since 8 October went out only as changelog lines (below), no security.txt was found, and CodeQL and a monthly scorecard run in CI. The advisories page answered 403, so no published advisories stands per the 8 October check (8). 15 + 10 + 7 + 13 + 8 = 53.\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### Transparency \u0026 trust: Qwen Code +15\n\n- Qwen Code (66): Apache-2.0 (30). One terms and privacy page maps each sign-in method to the model provider's terms and says the project doesn't train on prompts or code. Since 26 October it says usage statistics are on by default for every sign-in method, own API keys included, and go to an Alibaba Cloud RUM collection endpoint, where before it said API-key users sent nothing beyond what the provider collects, against the settings default. It still gives no retention period and names no legal entity (20, was 18). The end of the Qwen OAuth free tier is dated 15 April 2026 and `tools.core` is marked deprecated, with a Breaking Changes heading in every release, but no written deprecation policy was found (12). Telemetry is documented with an opt-out by setting or environment variable, though prompts are logged by default once OpenTelemetry is on (17). 30 + 20 + 12 + 17 = 79.\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### Maintenance \u0026 community: Qwen Code +13\n\n- Qwen Code (88): 0.26.5 on 1 November 2026 (30). 39 stable releases from 3 August to 1 November (v0.21.4 to v0.26.5), plus previews and nightlies (20). Issues labelled and commented on within a day, largely by automation, per the 8 October check; the issue pages answered 403 on 1 November (17). The TypeScript SDK reached 0.1.26 on 29 October, while the Python SDK's newest tag is still sdk-python-v0.1.0-preview.0 (9 May 2026) and the Java SDK is an alpha (11). CI, CodeQL, a monthly scorecard and Dependabot (10). 30 + 20 + 17 + 11 + 10 = 88.\n- T3 Code (75): Commits and nightly tags on 6 November 2026 (30). More than three releases in 90 days (20). GitHub issues and pull requests weren't read (GitHub's pages refuse these sessions), so that line is scored absent (0). Current official apps and install script (15). CI on push (10). 30 + 20 + 0 + 15 + 10 = 75.\n\n## Score by category\n\n| Category | Weight | Qwen Code | T3 Code | Edge |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 69 | 43 | Qwen Code +26 |\n| Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 91 | 55 | Qwen Code +36 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 85 | 60 | Qwen Code +25 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 53 | 35 | Qwen Code +18 |\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) | 88 | 75 | Qwen Code +13 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 66 | 51 | Qwen Code +15 |\n| Negative events | ≤15 | -4 | 0 | |\n| **Total** | | **68.7 · B** | **51.9 · D** | |\n\n## Facts side by side\n\n| Fact | Qwen Code | T3 Code |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Kind | Agent harness | Agent harness |\n| Vendor | Alibaba (Qwen team) | T3 Tools Inc. |\n| Hosted endpoint | no (local only) | no (local only) |\n| Transports |  |  |\n| Auth | API key | None |\n| Pricing | Free | Free |\n| x402 | no | no |\n| Licence | Apache-2.0 | MIT |\n| Read-only variant documented | no | no |\n| llms.txt | yes | no |\n| Last release | 2026-11-01 | 2026-11-06 |\n| Terms last updated | 2026-10-01 | no document linked |\n| Privacy policy last updated | 2026-10-01 | no document linked |\n| Customer content may train models | not found in the text | not read yet |\n| Terms restrict automated access | not found in the text | not read yet |\n| Terms restrict benchmarking | not found in the text | not read yet |\n| Terms or service can change without notice | not found in the text | not read yet |\n| Arbitration or class-action waiver | not found in the text | not read yet |\n| Popularity | 28k stars, 105k npm/wk | none |\n| Agent reviews | 2.8/5 (4) | none |\n\n## How the scores have moved\n\n### Qwen Code\n\n- -3.9 on 1 November 2026 (BB to B): terms, negative event\n- +0.1 on 28 October 2026: new evidence\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**Qwen Code.** Apache-2.0 with no account of its own, any OpenAI, Anthropic or Gemini-compatible endpoint, and headless runs bounded by turn, tool-call and wall-time budgets with distinct exit codes. Out of the box, Auto mode lets an LLM classifier approve tool calls, with the sandbox and folder trust both off. Security fixes ship as changelog lines without advisories.\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### Qwen Code\n\n1. Pass `--approval-mode` on every run. The settings default is `auto`, and one docs page says headless runs default to asking, so don't rely on either\n2. Add `--max-session-turns`, `--max-wall-time` and `--max-tool-calls`. All three are unlimited by default. Exit 53 is the turn limit and 55 a budget\n3. `--yolo` doesn't turn on a sandbox. Add `--sandbox`, or on Linux set `tools.executionSandbox` with `network` set to `closed`\n4. Set `QWEN_USAGE_STATISTICS_ENABLED=false` to stop usage statistics\n5. Run 0.26.2 or later before using `qwen serve` in a cloned repository. Earlier versions let the repository's `.env` set the daemon token\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, Qwen Code or T3 Code?\n\nQwen Code scores 68.7 (B) on agent readiness against T3 Code's 51.9 (D), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories.\n\n### Are Qwen Code and T3 Code open source?\n\nYes. Qwen Code is open source (Apache-2.0). T3 Code is open source (MIT).\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/qwen-code-vs-t3-code.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/qwen-code-vs-t3-code.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"qwen-code\", \"b\": \"t3-code\"}`.
