chock mcp
Ask the user before running chock mcp: what it takes and prints, from the engine at the pinned commit.
Serve the read-only chock_guidance MCP tool over stdio (mcp --repo .)
Syntax
This is the usage line argparse builds from this command's parser.
chock mcp [-h] [--repo REPO]
Arguments and options
The table lists every argument the parser declares, except -h, --help, written as argparse prints it. Default is the value the parser uses when you leave the option out. It is empty for a flag or when the parser sets none.
| Argument | Default | Help |
|---|---|---|
--repo REPO | . | Repo root holding .agents/policies (default: .) |
Exit codes
- 2: argparse rejected the arguments, for example an option this command does not have. The site's tests run every command with an unknown option and check that it exits 2.
- Chock documents no other exit codes, and this page has no recorded run.
Help as printed
This is what --help prints, from the same parser. The usage line names the program as the engine's parser does.
usage: chock mcp [-h] [--repo REPO]

touches, filtered to the repo's deny/ask selection. No network, no writes.
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--repo REPO Repo root holding .agents/policies (default: .)
