Yes It is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server written in Python that exposes standard tool endpoints and records agent decision traces into a local SQLite database.
Discussion
3 comments analyzed.
Competitors mentioned: Git AI (git notes-based alternative), Selvedge (entity-level lineage tracking)
Concerns raised: Permanent MCP activation uses valuable real estate, Line-level vs entity-level granularity tradeoff, Doesn't preserve metadata across rebases like git notes

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a agent / copilot tool for Agriculture yet.
