Models tested
| Model or tool | Provider | Open? | How run |
|---|---|---|---|
| Muse Wonder Full (requested model muse-wonder-full-1.0; reasoning effort medium) | Meta | Closed | Command line |
Purpose
Check whether the Muse CLI could complete a bounded code review without stopping for tool approval.
Context
One source-only review of an application code change. The reviewer could read the project but had shell, write, web, reminder and user-input tools disabled. No institutional or personal knowledge documents were supplied.
Method
Run muse exec with explicit approval-mode never, approval-judge off and per-run Contributor mode on. Keep the sandbox enabled. Collect the CLI exit status, review output and recorded approval-request count.
Results
| Run | Exit code | Approval requests | Review returned |
|---|---|---|---|
| One unattended source review | 0 | 0 | Yes |
Caveats
- The model id is the requested and locally recorded configuration; the answering model was not independently verified.
- One bounded run; this is not an approval-prompt reliability estimate.
- The reviewer did not execute tests, run a build or verify the application at runtime.
- The review verdict was returned by the model; this entry does not independently score its quality.
- Contributor mode was explicitly permitted for the code in this run; this does not establish permission for other material.
- The sandbox remained enabled; unattended approval settings do not remove sandbox restrictions.
- Elapsed time, tokens and cost were not measured for this entry.
What this suggests
These per-run CLI settings were sufficient for this read-only review to finish without tool-approval interruptions. Broader coding and runtime tasks need separate evidence.
More detail
The observations were extracted from the completed run's local records. The public data file contains only the result and settings; project content, local paths and the review transcript are not published.
