Telemetry and privacy

Argent collects opt-out usage and diagnostic telemetry to help prioritise features and fix what breaks.

You can opt out at any time:

argent telemetry disable   # check status with: argent telemetry status

This writes telemetry.enabled: false to ~/.argent/config.json and applies to every project on this machine.

Opt out for a whole repository

A team that must not send usage data can commit the opt-out with the project, so it holds on every clone without each developer running a command:

argent telemetry disable --scope project

This writes telemetry.enabled: false to <project-root>/.argent/config.json. Commit that file. The local install mode writes it for you when you pass --no-telemetry:

npx @swmansion/argent@latest init --local --no-telemetry

The two files merge restrictively: false in either one turns telemetry off. A project file can therefore never re-enable telemetry that a developer turned off globally, and argent telemetry enable on one machine does not override a committed project opt-out. argent telemetry status names the file that made the decision.

The project file is found from the working directory of the process, at the nearest parent that contains .argent, .git or package.json. Editors start the MCP server in the workspace root, so it and the tool-server it launches read the project file. The tool-server is shared by every editor on the machine; it reads the project file of the workspace that started it.

The environment variable DO_NOT_TRACK=1 still turns telemetry off regardless of either file.
