> RepoPilot has not run the setup commands or tests.
> Files marked “likely” are guessed from their names.
> An installation or usage excerpt was not captured. Read the README for how to use the published project.

## Further evidence

This brief can be used without a connection. If RepoPilot is connected, its hosted MCP endpoint is https://repopilot.app/api/mcp.

- Concise brief: analyze_repo {"repo":"Pylons/pyramid"}
- Full reference: get_artifact {"repo":"Pylons/pyramid"}
- For a concrete task, call plan_repo_task with this repository, the task, and your actual checkout SHA when known. Compare returned analyzed_sha and evidence_gaps before relying on its file guidance.
- Follow the tool result's next_actions for more evidence. A missing result or unknown revision remains unverified.

Before you rely on it

  • The repository license was not verified.
  • RepoPilot has not run the setup commands or tests.

Optional: connect RepoPilot over MCP so your agent can look things up itself.
