About Geiger
One read-only command that inventories every AI agent, harness, MCP server, plugin, and AI extension on a machine — and tells you, in plain language, what each one can touch.
No install. No account. No telemetry. Reads configs and directories, writes nothing (unless you ask for --json yourfile.json ).
Every one of those installs is a program that can execute commands, read files, and hold credentials — configured in dotfiles nobody looks at twice. Ask yourself the question this tool answers: what is actually running on this machine, and what can it reach? Most people cannot answer it. Now it's one command.
Real output from a real machine (values redacted — see below).
Geiger also recognizes policy wrappers (agents that put an enforcement layer in front of MCP servers) and reports both layers instead of hiding the real server behind the wrapper.
Read-only. The only write geiger ever performs is the --json file you explicitly name.
No telemetry. Nothing leaves your machine. There is no endpoint to send anything to. (This also means we have no idea how many people use this — a trade we're happy with.)
Secrets by shape only. When a credential-shaped value is found in a config, geiger reports the key name, the file, and what kind of secret it looks like — never any part of the value. A redaction pass runs on all output as defense-in-depth, and the test suite enforces it.
