## Tools

18 declared. Statically extracted from the shipped source — a floor on the surface, not a census.
- `get_status` — Compact summary of this Session's Goal, current Task, open Detour, next Task and the Developer's Standing Instructions. Call it at the start of every conversati
- `get_item` — Look up one Goal, Task, Detour or Standing Instruction by its ref (progressor://<goal>/<item>, or progressor://roadmap/<instruction>), with its file and line. U
- `add_goal` — Add a Goal to the end of the Roadmap, with an optional Task list and Outcome; with claim: true, also claim it to start work. A title another Goal already has is
- `update_goal` — Rename a Goal or set its Outcome. Its ID, refs and Plan File stay the same, and it needs no Claim. To change a Goal's Tasks, claim it and use add_tasks, update_
- `move_goal` — Move a Goal right before or after another Goal, so the Roadmap lists the work in the order it should happen. Give exactly one of before and after.
- `drop_goal` — Drop a Goal that will not be done, with the reason; its Plan File stays as a record. Releases this Session's Claim on it. A Goal another running Session holds, 
- `claim_goal` — Claim a Goal for this Session, so only this Session works on it. Releases (pauses) any Goal this Session held before. Fails if another running Session holds it.
- `release_goal` — Release this Session's Claim, leaving the Goal paused for a later Session.
- `complete_goal` — Mark the claimed Goal done and release it, once its Outcome is true and its Tasks are done or dropped. If more work turns up later, claim_goal reopens it.
- `add_tasks` — Append Tasks to the claimed Goal's plan. For work that is not part of the plan, declare a Detour instead. Set done on a Task that is already finished.
- `start_task` — Mark a Task in progress. Only one Task can be in progress at a time.
- `complete_task` — Mark a Task of the claimed Goal done, recording the files it touched and, if it changed, the final summary of what it did. Works whether or not the Task was sta
- `update_task` — Change a Task's title, summary or files, for instance when the fix turns out different from the plan. Leaves its status alone.
- `drop_task` — Drop one Task of the claimed Goal that is no longer needed, with the reason; it stays in the Plan File, struck through. To replace the whole remaining plan, end
- `start_detour` — Declare that the work is splitting off from the planned Tasks, before doing it. Branches from the current Task. Only one Detour can be open.
- `end_detour` — End the open Detour. 'merge back': it was small and is done; the plan is unchanged. 'return': go back to the plan, appending `tasks` for the Detour's intended w
- `add_standing_instruction` — Save a lasting rule from the Developer about how you should work in this project, such as 'ask me before changing the plan'. get_status lists it from then on. U
- `update_standing_instruction` — Reword a Standing Instruction when the Developer changes a rule, or remove it with an empty text when they drop it. The IDs (s1, s2...) are in get_status.

## Install

**Verdict: install** — No blocking findings and no open coverage gaps — safe to install as configured.
**Config** (claude-code):
```json
"{\n  \"mcpServers\": {\n    \"progressor\": {\n      \"command\": \"npx\",\n      \"args\": [\n        \"-y\",\n        \"progressor-mcp\"\n      ]\n    }\n  }\n}"
```

## Blast radius

Extensive to critical — no credential declaration found, from the publisher, the upstream registry, or the README. Known so far: deletes data; runs on your machine.
- Floor 38, ceiling 62 (tier: unknown)
- `unknown` means the floor and ceiling land in different bands — not measured enough to name one. It does not mean low.
- This is impact, not likelihood. A high radius is not a defect: a filesystem server is supposed to write files. It is never part of the trust score.
