Acceptable use & trademarks

warden is a local orchestrator: it drives agent-backend CLIs and services using credentials you supply. You are responsible for complying with the terms of service, usage policies, and rate limits of every backend and account you connect (Claude Code / Anthropic, OpenAI Codex, Cursor, Google Antigravity, Aider, OpenCode, goose, crush, and any others).

warden grants no rights to any third-party service and makes no representation that a given automation or concurrency pattern — including running many agents in parallel — is permitted under your plan. Check each provider’s terms before scaling up a fleet.

By default warden runs entirely on your machine — no telemetry, no SaaS. The only traffic that leaves your machine is what you explicitly enable:

  • Webhook / Slack alerts (notify.webhook_url) — POSTs alerts to a URL you set.
  • Remote access — binds a non-loopback address and serves the API/dashboard.
  • warden savings --calibrate — sends truncated token samples to Anthropic’s count_tokens endpoint using your ANTHROPIC_API_KEY.
  • Branch tracking (branch_track.enabled, default off) — reads each agent branch’s CI status by running gh run list against your Git host with your own gh credentials.

warden is an independent open-source project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Cursor, Block, or any other agent-backend vendor. “Claude” and “Claude Code” are trademarks of Anthropic, PBC; “Codex” of OpenAI; and all other product and company names are trademarks of their respective owners, used here for identification only.
