Thanks for 1k stars btw! Bigger updates coming soon!
Burrow 0.10.5
Burrow's MCP tools, tuned against real agent transcripts. We audited how AI
agents actually used the tools in the wild — what they called, where they
stalled, and when they gave up and fell back to raw du/df — and fixed what
tripped them up (#302).
Improved
- One
burrow_analyzecall now maps disk hotspots. The engine reports one
directory level per run, which forced agents into a call per directory (a
real session made 15 in a row).analyzegainsdepth(descend into the
largest subdirectories),limit, andmin_size, emits compact JSON instead
of 35–60 KB pretty-printed blobs, and always reports what it pruned
(entries_omitted/omitted_bytes,partial: truewhen the descent hits
its time budget). (#303) - The slow tools now say they're slow.
analyze,clean,purge, and
installerdescriptions warn that big scans take minutes, so agents scope to
a specific folder instead of hanging past their client's patience and falling
back to shell commands. The agent docs and theburrow-system-toolsskill
now lead with the low-disk emergency playbook — the pattern that actually
fires in practice. (#303)
Fixed
- Killed runs no longer fail silently. A
burrow_cleanthat hit its time
limit rendered as{"exit_code": 9, "output": ""}— nothing an agent could
act on. Timed-out actions (and analyze) now returntimed_out: trueplus a
hint. (#303) burrow_cleanup_historyexplains itself. When engine history is
unavailable, the error now points atburrow_infoto check whether Burrow is
recording at all. (#303)
