Configuration
| Variable | Required | Secret | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| KVM_PILOT_PROFILE | — | — | Profile name from ~/.config/kvm-pilot/config.toml naming the KVM/BMC to target |
| KVM_PILOT_MCP_READ_ONLY | — | — | Least-privilege posture: only read-only tools are registered; effect gates force-closed. Recommended for first contact (set to 1) |
| KVM_PILOT_MCP_DRY_RUN | — | — | Rehearsal posture: destructive calls are logged, never sent (set to 1) |
| KVM_PILOT_MCP_ALLOW_POWER | — | — | Operator opt-in enabling power control of the managed host (per-effect gate; see also _ALLOW_HID, _ALLOW_MEDIA, _ALLOW_SSH, _ALLOW_APPLIANCE, _ALLOW_EXTERNAL_WRITE) |
| KVM_PILOT_HOST | — | — | Device address (KVM/BMC) when not using a config-file profile |
| KVM_PILOT_USER | — | — | Device username when not using a config-file profile |
