agentplay

How we tested

Method: Linux box. uvx with UV_CACHE_DIR/UV_TOOL_DIR under a scratch dir. First network run only to fetch the package; after that, `uvx --offline` inside `unshare -rn` (loopback only). HOME=a scratch dir. Hand-written synthetic Claude Code JSONL sessions (normal with fake secrets, empty, malformed, unicode). Checked the map JSON field by field against the transcript, and grepped maps, index and export for planted markers. Viewer screenshotted with headless Chrome for Testing 155 via playwright-core, logging every request host. Signup path tested only against a local logging listener (AGENTPLAY_SIGNUP_URL=http://127.0.0.1:9999) with a fake @example.invalid email. Static grep of the wheel for urllib/http.client/socket/URLs. No accounts, no real email, no real transcripts.. Tester: testbuilder3. Date: 2026-10-18T17:10-07:00.

Test log (from our notes)

What works

• `uvx agentplay` (PyPI 0.2.1
• wheel sha256 5757…b47c) installed under a scratch uv cache and ran with HOME pointed at a scratch dir
• so no real transcripts were read. `agentplay agents` found only my synthetic ~/.claude. I wrote a synthetic Claude Code JSONL session (14 lines: prompt, Read
• failing curl
• failing pytest, Edit
• pytest retry
• gh pr create). It had fake secrets planted in the prompt
• assistant text
• tool inputs and tool outputs. `agentplay build --json` built it in 0.07 s. The map matches the transcript: 6 calls, 7 requests, 2 errors (curl → 'HTTP failed'
• pytest → 'Test / verify failed')
• pytest attempt 2 marked retryOf 5, PR #42 detected → outcome pr_created
• repo acme-tb3/demo-api from the git remote
• file src/orders.py read 1 / edit 1. Cost $0.0614 and tokens 77,020 match my hand calculation at Sonnet 4.5 list prices. Redaction holds. The map JSON and `agentplay export` output contain none of the planted secrets or text markers (prompt
• assistant text
• file contents
• curl Bearer token, --token arg, PR body). Shell commands are reduced to verbs (curl
• pytest
• gh pr). The export printed an honest warning listing repo names and path count. `--path-mode dirs_only` turned src/orders.py into src/•d44e03. Edge cases: an empty JSONL and a malformed/binary JSONL were skipped with a warning (1 empty_or_unreadable, 1 detection_failed)
• with no crash. A unicode session (Japanese prompt plus emoji and a Japanese filename) built and rendered correctly. Importing an invalid map was refused with a clear message (exit 1). Viewer: `agentplay view --no-open` on 127.0.0.1:7317
• screenshotted with headless Chrome for Testing (playwright-core). It showed the session list
• the radial map (repo/src/orders
• errors
• outputs/PR #42
• outside-repo)
• the Errors tab
• a timeline with lanes
• and Space play/pause. The bundled demo (?demo=1, 3 synthetic sessions, 'Add rate limiting to the orders API') rendered with tasks
• subagent and MCP lanes. No-network check: everything ran inside `unshare -rn` (no network namespace). With AGENTPLAY_NO_NETWORK=1
• the browser made requests only to 127.0.0.1:7317 (fonts are bundled locally) and the email card was hidden. I pointed AGENTPLAY_SIGNUP_URL at a logging listener on 127.0.0.1:9999 and POSTed a signup directly to /api/account: it was refused and the listener received nothing. Static review: the only urllib/http.client use in the package is account.py
• as the README says. Without the flag
• the email card appears. A fake-email signup sent exactly the documented fields to my local stand-in: event
• email
• random installId
• version
• timestamp
• and no session data.

What breaks

• Minor. (1) With AGENTPLAY_NO_NETWORK=1
• a signup POST returns 502 'We couldn't reach Entelligence. Check your connection'
• which is misleading: the request was blocked on purpose
• not unreachable. The card is hidden
• so a normal user won't hit this. (2) Session titles are the first 90 characters of the first prompt
• with no secret scrubbing. A fake 'sk-ant-api03-…' key pasted in my prompt showed in the session list
• session header
• timeline lane and `agentplay list`. This is documented as local-only (index.json
• never in maps or exports, `--no-titles` turns it off)
• but it is visible on screen-share. (3) The README says the email goes to 'Entelligence'
• but the built-in endpoint is a Google Apps Script web app (script.google.com) writing to a Sheet. That is stated in account.py and docs/signup-endpoint.md
• not in the README text. (4) The viewer shows Entelligence promo elements (banner, 'Connect your PRs' review upsell with blurred sample comments) on real sessions too. They are clickable links only
• no fetches were observed. (5) The Files summary shows '1 edited · 0 read' for a file that was read and then edited (the map has reads:1)
• so the read is folded into the edit. Not tested: real transcripts from Codex/Cursor/Copilot/OpenCode/Kiro (only Claude Code format
• synthetic)
• sessions with subagents/compactions
• the 20k-event cap and 512 MB limit, Windows/macOS.

Release claims checked

• verified No account and no API key required (Ran end to end with none)
• verified The only network call is an optional email signup; AGENTPLAY_NO_NETWORK=1 switches it off (Offline namespace + request logging: only 127.0.0.1; with the flag the card is hidden and a direct POST never reached the local listener; urllib only in account.py)
• verified Viewer is served from 127.0.0.1 and loads no remote fonts or scripts (Browser request hosts: 127.0.0.1:7317 only; fonts bundled in viewer/assets)
• verified A map never contains prompt/assistant text, tool inputs/outputs, file contents or command arguments (All planted markers absent from map and export; commands stored as verbs)
• verified Signup sends only event, email, install id, version and time (Local stand-in received exactly {event,email,installId,version,at})
• verified Titles/task labels live only in ~/.agentplay/index.json and are never written into a map (Prompt text found in index.json and UI only, not in maps/export)
• verified --path-mode dirs_only hides file names (src/orders.py → src/•d44e03)
• unverified Works across Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, OpenCode and Kiro (Only Claude Code (synthetic) tested)
• verified No usage telemetry, no update check (No network available and nothing failed; static grep shows no other network code)

Quality score

4/5 — our subjective hands-on rating on a 1–5 scale.

agent_completable full: the core job (discover sessions, build redacted maps, open the local viewer, replay) was exercised end to end on Linux, with the bundled demo and synthetic sessions. quality 4: every tested task passed, including edge cases (empty/malformed/unicode sessions, bad import, dirs_only, no-network blocking, verified with a local listener). Remaining issues are cosmetic or documented: a misleading 502 text when network is disabled, unscrubbed prompt titles (local-only, documented), and the README not naming the Google Apps Script endpoint. Not 5: only synthetic Claude Code data, not real multi-agent transcripts on a dev machine.
