+It reports the saved Shepherd account, connected cloud sources, downstream

+Agents must not inspect the user's folders or repositories to answer setup
+status. Do not run `ls`, `find`, `rg`, `grep`, `cat`, `Read`, `Glob`, or
+`Explore` against the user's home directory, repositories, `~/.codex`,
+`~/.claude`, or `~/.shepherd` for Shepherd setup. Use the npm status command
+above; it performs the bounded local checks.
+
+## Set Up Coding Agent Sessions
+
+Use this when the user asks "Help me set up coding agent sessions":
+
+```sh
+npx -y askshepherd@latest agent --login
+npx -y askshepherd@latest agent --add-sources coding-sessions --name "<name>" --org "<organization>"
+npx -y askshepherd@latest agent --continue

+The coding agent should ask for consent before enabling this source. The local
+collector syncs redacted Codex and Claude Code summaries, not full transcripts.

+The installed MCP server is local npm first, remote brain second. For questions
+like "what do I have set up on Shepherd?", "is Shepherd syncing?", or "help me
+set up coding agent sessions", the MCP exposes local tools such as
+`shepherd_status` and `shepherd_setup_coding_sessions` that route agents to the
+local `askshepherd status` / add-source flow. Production memory and wiki tools
+remain remote Railway-backed tools for source recall and company-memory answers.
+Those local MCP tools are also the permission boundary: an MCP client should not
+use shell or file tools to inspect the user's folders or repositories for setup.
+
 Use `--json` when an agent or setup script needs machine-readable endpoint and
 header details.
