# Paseo > Paseo is an open-source development environment that runs coding agents in parallel on your own machines, each in its own worktree, driven from desktop, iOS, Android, web or CLI, with voice control and no telemetry. - Canonical: https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/paseo - Pricing: https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/paseo#pricing - Reviews: https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/paseo#reviews - Markdown: https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/paseo.md (~4,500 tokens) - Slim: https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/paseo.min.md (~880 tokens, same facts, less prose, for token-sensitive contexts) - JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/paseo.json (this page as data, same URL with Accept: application/json) - Site index for agents: https://www.anchorterminal.com/llms.txt (the key docs and every listing in one file, at most 16 MB, about 4 million tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/llms-full.txt) - API: https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/index.json - MCP: https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (the whole catalogue as tools, no key) - DNS: dig +short TXT paseo.grade.anchorterminal.com (the grade as a DNS TXT record, for a sandbox with no HTTP where names still resolve; also top., best.. and .vs.. under the zone, and the same under grade.letme.dev) - Licence: CC BY 4.0, credit Anchor Terminal and link this page (https://www.anchorterminal.com/terms/#data) - Updated: 2026-11-07 ## Overview **Grade B · 62.1/100 · rank #575 of 1486 · #14 in Agent harnesses · not agent-ready · confidence low** ## Assessment A self-hosted, open-source workspace for running many coding agents on your own machines, scriptable from the CLI and reachable from phone, web or desktop, with no telemetry or forced log-in. It's pre-1.0 and run largely by one maintainer. ## Facts | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Vendor | Mohamed Boudra (https://paseo.sh) | | Kind | Agent harness | | Category | Agent harnesses (https://www.anchorterminal.com/categories/agent-harnesses) | | Auth | None | | Pricing | Free (Free · OSS) · Free and open source.

Confidence: low. Performance and Task success pending (no score, not in the total); the total is Σ(score × weight) ÷ 80 over the 7 assessed categories. "This run" is each category's share of the 100 points. | Category | Weight | This run | Score (0–100) | Points | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Reliability | 16% | 20 | 50 | 10.0 | | Performance | 10% | pending | pending | n/a | | Schema & documentation | 13% | 16.2 | 65 | 10.6 | | Agent ergonomics | 13% | 16.2 | 70 | 11.4 | | Security & auth | 14% | 17.5 | 58 | 10.2 | | Payments & pricing | 10% | 12.5 | 60 | 7.5 | | Task success | 10% | pending | pending | n/a | | Maintenance & community | 7% | 8.8 | 75 | 6.6 | | Transparency & trust (editorial 82, provenance 53) | 7% | 8.8 | 68 | 6.0 | | Negative events | up to −15 | up to −15 | none recorded | 0 | | **Total** | | | | **62.1 → B** | ### Why each score - Reliability 50 (checked 2026-11-07): Local software. Desktop builds, an Android APK, a Docker image and a Nix package (20). ci.yml 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). Version 0.15.3 (0). 20 + 15 + 0 + 15 + 0 = 50. - Performance: Pending. Latency is measured per call by our probes, which haven't run yet, so this run doesn't score it. Its weight is shared across the assessed categories until the first probe window closes. - Schema & documentation 65 (checked 2026-11-07): Harness reading. Public docs, a CLI and plugin examples in the repository (65). - Agent ergonomics 70 (checked 2026-11-07): Harness reading. A self-hosted daemon that agents can use to create worktrees, launch other agents and talk to them, scriptable from the CLI (70). - Security & auth 58 (checked 2026-11-07): Harness reading. The README says no telemetry, tracking or forced log-ins (30 of 30). Worktree per agent, on your own machine (10 of 20). No prompt-injection guidance (5). No audit log (5). SECURITY.md (8). 30 + 10 + 5 + 5 + 8 = 58. - Payments & pricing 60 (checked 2026-11-07): Free self-hosted software with nothing to buy, so 0 for a protocol and 20 each for public pricing, a free tier and onboarding with no sign-up, 60. - Task success: Pending. Task success needs the category task suites run through each tool, which haven't run yet, so this run doesn't score it. Its weight is shared across the assessed categories until then. A data provider's data-quality score is published on its listing now and becomes half of this category when it's scored. - Maintenance & community 75 (checked 2026-11-07): v0.15.3 and commits on 7 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 builds (15). CI on push (10). 30 + 20 + 0 + 15 + 10 = 75. - Transparency & trust 68 (checked 2026-11-07): Apache 2.0 for everything but third-party components (30). No telemetry and agents run on your machine (22 of 30). CHANGELOG.md, no deprecation policy (10). States no telemetry (20). 30 + 22 + 10 + 20 = 82. Fix list, everything this grade says the listing lacks, the biggest gain first (12 items). What it covers is at https://www.anchorterminal.com/fixes/paseo.md (JSON https://www.anchorterminal.com/fixes/paseo.json). The whole list for a coding agent comes from `POST https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/fix-list` with `{"listing": "paseo", "plan": "read"}`, free while the beta runs ### What we couldn't check - unchecked: issues and whether CI passes - paseo.sh as the vendor domain is assumed from the project name; the README's site link wasn't read ### Sources - repository README, licence, workflows, tags and docs, shallow clone: (seen 2026-11-07) - lead, the Conductor alternatives list the founder pasted on 7 November 2026, and awesome-agent-orchestrators: (seen 2026-11-07) ## Score history Every move of a score since the listing was graded, newest first, with its cause. A score can't move without an entry here. JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/tools/paseo/history.json - 2026-11-07: graded 62.1 B (methodology 0.7) ## Who's behind it (provenance 53/100, checked 2026-11-07) | Check | Finding | Points | | --- | --- | --- | | Legal entity named | Mohamed Boudra | 20/20 | | Domain age | paseo.sh, no registry record we could read | 0/15 | | Endpoint on the vendor's domain | no hosted endpoint | n/a | | Terms of service | nothing hosted, so the Apache-2.0 licence stands in | 10/10 | | Privacy policy | nothing hosted, not scored | n/a | | Status page | not found | 0/10 | | Changelog | published | 10/10 | | security.txt | not found | 0/10 | | People named | not researched yet | n/a | | Support route | not researched yet | n/a | Not looked up: RDAP isn't requested under the 1 November 2026 rules. The licence names Mohamed Boudra. The repository is github.com/getpaseo/paseo. ### Terms and privacy, as read A reading by a fixed set of rules, each answered with the vendor's own sentence. Not legal advice. **Terms of service**. Nothing is hosted by the vendor, so there are no terms of service to read. The Apache-2.0 licence stands in and the check scores in full. **Privacy policy**. Nothing is hosted by the vendor, so there is no privacy policy to read and the check isn't scored. ## Live (updated 2026-11-07 16:00 UTC) - security.txt: unknown - Watching changelog - Always current: https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/live/paseo.json ## Probe metrics Not measured yet. Our benchmark probes haven't run, so there's no availability, latency or error rate from a run and Performance is pending. Live uptime, where we poll the endpoint, is under Live and doesn't change the score. ## Strengths - No telemetry, tracking or forced log-ins, per the README - Agents can create worktrees, launch other agents and talk to them across providers - Desktop, iOS, Android, web and CLI clients for one self-hosted daemon - Apache 2.0, with a changelog and CI ## Weaknesses - Pre-1.0, at 0.15.3 - Most commits come from one maintainer and bots - No prompt-injection guidance for agents that read untrusted content ## Before you call it (notes for agents) 1. Run the daemon on the machine that has your tools and credentials, and connect from the clients 2. Script runs from the CLI for repeatable agent jobs ## Connect Install: ```bash Download from the releases page, or run the daemon with Docker or Nix ``` ## Similar tools Ranked by shared capabilities, then score. Same-category tools with no shared capability key are listed last. | Tool | Grade | Score | Rank | Shared capabilities | x402 | Markdown | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | goose | BB | 71.3 | 165 | agent.harness, agent.multi-agent | no | https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/goose.md | | AXLR | BB | 70.6 | 197 | agent.harness, agent.multi-agent | no | https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/axlr.md | | OpenHands | BB | 70.3 | 206 | agent.harness, agent.multi-agent | no | https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/openhands.md | | OpenCode | B | 68.8 | 269 | agent.harness, agent.multi-agent | no | https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/opencode.md | | Qwen Code | B | 68.7 | 273 | agent.harness, agent.multi-agent | no | https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/qwen-code.md | | Kilo Code CLI | B | 68 | 295 | agent.harness, agent.multi-agent | no | https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/kilo-code-cli.md | ## Panel reviews (0) Reviewed by the Anchor panel (https://www.anchorterminal.com/reviewers/index.md): .

The badge or a plain link to this page verifies the listing, from a page on paseo.sh or one of its subdomains, or the README at the root of github.com/getpaseo/paseo. It shows the listing is the vendor's and that the vendor knows it's here, and it never changes a grade, rank or review. The vendor sends the page's address to `POST https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/verify` as `{"slug": "paseo", "url": "…"}`, or calls the `verify_listing` tool at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp. We fetch the page once, then again every week; two failed checks in a row and the verification lapses, and a later pass restores it.
