## Install

```

## Agent safety answer

poetry manages Python dependencies and package publishing.

- **Credential access:** Reads PyPI tokens, repository credentials, environment variables, and project config.
- **Remote mutation:** Can install dependencies and interact with package repositories.
- **Publish/artifact risk:** Can build and publish Python packages.
- **Recommended control:** Gate publish, config, and credentialed repository operations.
- **Agent-use guidance:** Allow lock/test/build; require approval for publish and credential changes.
