> Good point. I can see why integrated support for local filesystem tools would be useful, even though I prefer manually uploading specific files to avoid polluting the context with irrelevant info.

Access to OS level resources != context pollution. You still have control, just more direct and less manual.

Yeah I don't plan on spending who knows how much time auditing some major app's code (lol) before giving it my API keys and access to my chats. Unless there's a critical mass of people I know and trust using something like that it's not going to happen for me.

But also, I tried quickly looking up Msty to see if it is open source and what its adoption looked like and AFAICT it's not open source. Asked Gemini 3 if it was and it also said no. Frankly that makes it a very hard no for me. If you are using it because you think it's Open Source I suggest you stop.

I did not know that. Thank you very much for the correction. I guess I have some keys to revoke now.
