  "markdown": "## Overview\n\n**Grade D · 51.9/100 · rank #1002 of 1486 · #40 in Agent harnesses · not agent-ready · confidence low**\n\n\n## Assessment\n\nA 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## Facts\n\n| Field | Value |\n| --- | --- |\n| Vendor | T3 Tools Inc. (https://t3.codes) |\n| Kind | Agent harness |\n| Category | Agent harnesses (https://www.anchorterminal.com/categories/agent-harnesses) |\n| Auth | None |\n| Pricing | Free (Free · OSS) · Free and open source. You pay for the coding agents it runs, through your own subscriptions or API keys (checked 2026-11-07). |\n| x402 | No · No payment protocol in the repository or README (checked 2026-11-07). |\n| Licence | MIT |\n| Source | https://github.com/pingdotgg/t3code |\n| Docs | https://github.com/pingdotgg/t3code/tree/main/docs |\n| llms.txt | not found |\n| Last release | 2026-11-06 |\n| Surface graded | The open-source app, read from a shallow clone of github.com/pingdotgg/t3code on 7 November 2026. Nothing installed |\n| Providers | Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, Grok Build, OpenCode, Google Antigravity and fx, each installed and logged in on the machine running the server |\n| Capabilities | agent.harness, agent.multi-agent |\n| Tags | open-source, mit, desktop-app, mobile, telemetry, new |\n| JSON | https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/tools/t3-code.json |\n\n## Score breakdown (methodology v0.7, October 2026 research run)\n\nAssessed 2026-11-07 from public evidence against the published checklist (https://www.anchorterminal.com/benchmark/#checklist). 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.\n\n| Category | Weight | This run | Score (0–100) | Points |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Reliability | 16% | 20 | 43 | 8.6 |\n| Performance | 10% | pending | pending | n/a |\n| Schema \u0026 documentation | 13% | 16.2 | 55 | 8.9 |\n| Agent ergonomics | 13% | 16.2 | 60 | 9.8 |\n| Security \u0026 auth | 14% | 17.5 | 35 | 6.1 |\n| Payments \u0026 pricing | 10% | 12.5 | 60 | 7.5 |\n| Task success | 10% | pending | pending | n/a |\n| Maintenance \u0026 community | 7% | 8.8 | 75 | 6.6 |\n| Transparency \u0026 trust (editorial 62, provenance 40) | 7% | 8.8 | 51 | 4.5 |\n| Negative events | up to −15 | up to −15 | none recorded | 0 |\n| **Total** | | | | **51.9 → D** |\n\n### Why each score\n\n- Reliability 43 (checked 2026-11-07): 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- 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.\n- Schema \u0026 documentation 55 (checked 2026-11-07): Harness reading. User docs in the repository (managed policy, handoffs, providers, telemetry), AGENTS.md for contributors, a server other clients connect to (55).\n- Agent ergonomics 60 (checked 2026-11-07): Harness reading. Remote control from phone or browser, portable handoffs between providers and managed policies for teams (60).\n- Security \u0026 auth 35 (checked 2026-11-07): 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- Payments \u0026 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.\n- 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.\n- Maintenance \u0026 community 75 (checked 2026-11-07): 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- Transparency \u0026 trust 51 (checked 2026-11-07): 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\nFix list, everything this grade says the listing lacks, the biggest gain first (12 items). What it covers is at https://www.anchorterminal.com/fixes/t3-code.md (JSON https://www.anchorterminal.com/fixes/t3-code.json). The whole list for a coding agent comes from `POST https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/fix-list` with `{\"listing\": \"t3-code\", \"plan\": \"read\"}`, free while the beta runs\n\n### What we couldn't check\n\n- unchecked: issues and pull requests, and whether CI passes on main\n\n### Sources\n\n- repository README, licence, workflows, tags and docs, shallow clone: \u003chttps://github.com/pingdotgg/t3code\u003e (seen 2026-11-07)\n- lead, the Conductor alternatives list the founder pasted on 7 November 2026, and awesome-agent-orchestrators: \u003chttps://github.com/andyrewlee/awesome-agent-orchestrators\u003e (seen 2026-11-07)\n\n## Score history\n\nEvery 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/t3-code/history.json\n\n- 2026-11-07: graded 51.9 D (methodology 0.7)\n\n## Who's behind it (provenance 40/100, checked 2026-11-07)\n\n| Check | Finding | Points |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Legal entity named | T3 Tools Inc. | 20/20 |\n| Domain age | t3.codes, no registry record we could read | 0/15 |\n| Endpoint on the vendor's domain | no hosted endpoint | n/a |\n| Terms of service | nothing hosted, so the MIT licence stands in | 10/10 |\n| Privacy policy | nothing hosted, not scored | n/a |\n| Status page | not found | 0/10 |\n| Changelog | not found | 0/10 |\n| security.txt | not found | 0/10 |\n| People named | not researched yet | n/a |\n| Support route | not researched yet | n/a |\n\nNot looked up: RDAP isn't requested under the 1 November 2026 rules.\n\nThe licence names T3 Tools Inc.. The repository is github.com/pingdotgg/t3code.\n\n### Terms and privacy, as read\n\nA reading by a fixed set of rules, each answered with the vendor's own sentence. Not legal advice.\n\n**Terms of service**. Nothing is hosted by the vendor, so there are no terms of service to read. The MIT licence stands in and the check scores in full.\n\n\n**Privacy policy**. Nothing is hosted by the vendor, so there is no privacy policy to read and the check isn't scored.\n\n\n## Live (updated 2026-11-07 16:01 UTC)\n\n- security.txt: valid, expires 2027-11-07T09:42:17.281Z\n- Always current: https://www.anchorterminal.com/api/v1/live/t3-code.json\n\n## Probe metrics\n\nNot 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.\n\n## Strengths\n\n- Controls Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Grok Build, OpenCode, Antigravity and fx with your existing subscriptions\n- iOS and Android apps to steer agents running on your machine\n- Managed policies for teams, including turning telemetry off\n- MIT, with active CI and daily nightlies\n\n## Weaknesses\n\n- Usage data on by default, with hashed OpenAI and Claude account identifiers, and relay traces to Axiom\n- The telemetry opt-out is in the docs, not the README\n- Pre-1.0, at 0.1.7 stable\n- Installs with curl piped to sh\n\n\n\n## Before you call it (notes for agents)\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## Connect\n\nInstall:\n\n```bash\ncurl -fsSL https://t3.codes/install.sh | sh\n```\n\n## Similar tools\n\nRanked by shared capabilities, then score. Same-category tools with no shared capability key are listed last.\n\n| Tool | Grade | Score | Rank | Shared capabilities | x402 | Markdown |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| goose | BB | 71.3 | 165 | agent.harness, agent.multi-agent | no | https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/goose.md |\n| AXLR | BB | 70.6 | 197 | agent.harness, agent.multi-agent | no | https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/axlr.md |\n| OpenHands | BB | 70.3 | 206 | agent.harness, agent.multi-agent | no | https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/openhands.md |\n| OpenCode | B | 68.8 | 269 | agent.harness, agent.multi-agent | no | https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/opencode.md |\n| Qwen Code | B | 68.7 | 273 | agent.harness, agent.multi-agent | no | https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/qwen-code.md |\n| Kilo Code CLI | B | 68 | 295 | agent.harness, agent.multi-agent | no | https://www.anchorterminal.com/tools/kilo-code-cli.md |\n\n## Panel reviews (0)\n\nReviewed by the Anchor panel (https://www.anchorterminal.com/reviewers/index.md): .\n\nDesk reviews, written from public documentation, pricing, terms, source and status history on 1 October 2026. No calls made. For a desk review, the outcome says whether the reviewer's questions could be answered from public material: success, partial or failure. How reviews work: https://www.anchorterminal.com/reviews/how-it-works.md\n\n## Notable\n\n- Says it sells nothing and was inspired by the Codex desktop app, Conductor, Claude Desktop and Cursor (source: \u003chttps://github.com/pingdotgg/t3code#readme\u003e)\n- Telemetry includes hashed identifiers for T3 Connect, OpenAI and Claude accounts and a per-device ID (source:

The badge or a plain link to this page verifies the listing, from a page on t3.codes or one of its subdomains, or the README at the root of github.com/pingdotgg/t3code. 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\": \"t3-code\", \"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.
