Practical overview
When it fits
Use ANOLISA when you want a self-hosted operating layer around agent workloads, especially to reduce model-bound tool output, observe agent runs or add runtime and security components without replacing your existing shell, framework or sandbox.
Who it is for
- Developers and teams operating AI agents who want to add workload controls while keeping their existing shell, agent framework and sandbox.
- Terminal users who want agents to work alongside familiar Bash or Zsh behavior.
- Teams seeking to reduce tool-response content passed to models or inspect agent activity and token use.
Documented uses
- Add a CLI entry point for managing agent workload capabilities.
- Compress tool schemas and responses before they reach a model.
- Trace agent activity and token use; on Linux, AgentSight uses eBPF without changing agent code.
- Reuse useful context across sessions and keep the current skill view focused.
- Add runtime features such as checkpointing and rollback, sandbox lifecycle management, and sandboxing and verification.
Requirements & limits
The project repository is public and lists an Apache-2.0 license. The README lists Linux and macOS as platforms; AgentSight's eBPF tracing is described for Linux.
- ANOLISA is an infrastructure layer with separately enabled components, not just a terminal agent interface.
- The documented Token-less example connects to Claude Code and includes a restart before running a task.
- AgentSight's eBPF-based observation is specifically described for Linux.
- The repository identifies Rust as its primary language and Apache-2.0 as its license.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Set up Token-less with Claude Code
Install Token-less, enable its Claude Code adapter and inspect its statistics after a tool-heavy task.
Before you start
- ANOLISA CLI installation entry point documented in the project README.
- Claude Code, for the adapter workflow described by the README.
- A terminal to run the documented commands.
Steps
Run the documented installer: the command below.
curl -fsSL https://get.agentic-os.sh | bashAdd
$HOME/.local/binto PATH for the current shell withexport PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH".Run
anolisa install tokenlessandanolisa adapter enable tokenless claude-code.Restart Claude Code and run a tool-heavy task.
Review results with
tokenless stats summaryandtokenless stats list --limit 5.
Expected outcome
Token-less is installed and enabled for Claude Code, and its documented statistics commands can be used to inspect results after a task.
Guide limitations
- The documented sequence requires restarting Claude Code before the task.
- The README presents this as a Token-less and Claude Code workflow; it does not establish that the same steps apply to other agent frameworks.
