| Best use | Best for an individual developer or small team tracing a bug, adding a test, or implementing a bounded change with a reviewable plan and diff. Avoid broad production access or unscoped Auto-approve, and do not treat it as a replacement for tests, Git, or human review. | Ideal for a data analyst, Python developer, or small team that wants reproducible experiments, clear Git review, and an interactive report or internal tool from the same source. It is not a replacement for governed BI or a production service requiring enterprise scaling and permissions. | Best for an individual developer or small team that wants an AI agent to complete an inspectable task in a working copy: understand files, make a bounded change, and run a test. Start with manual approval and scope the folder and tools. Do not give it broad access to production or sensitive data. |
