Artel

Artel is a plugin for Gemini CLI from NicolasPrimeau/artel. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, original, MIT.

A self-hosted coordination service for groups of AI agents. It provides shared memory, tasks, messages, and handoffs between sessions through MCP, a protocol for connecting tools and agents.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to coordinate agent fleets, share information, assign tasks, exchange messages, and hand work from one session or agent to another.
Why use it?
It helps multiple agents share project state and pass work between sessions instead of keeping that information in separate conversations. It runs on infrastructure you control.

Security

Grade A, and why

Artel scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

The scan reads gemini-extension.json. This mod also ships 41 executable files (examples/autogen_agent.py, examples/python_client.py, scripts/_artel_hooks.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What ships with it

44 files beside gemini-extension.json in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
