Environment variables

aivyx-coder is configured through config.toml and command-line flags, not the environment. It reads only these:

Variable	Effect
`AIVYX_DEBUG_LOG`	A file to append the raw traffic to and from the model to — plain text, append-only, no rotation. For debugging a model or server; treat the file as sensitive and delete it afterwards.
`XDG_CONFIG_HOME`	Where the config directory lives on Linux (default `~/.config`). Also used to recognise your global git config (`$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git`) so the model can’t write to it.
`HOME`	The base of the default paths.
`AIVYX_CODER_ACP_TERMINAL_AUTH`	Set by aivyx-coder itself when an editor runs `--setup` as its sign-in step; it only changes the final message. You never set it.

What confined commands see

Commands the model runs (run_command, run_shell, /test, git, REPLs, MCP and language servers) inherit your environment, with one exception: SSH_AUTH_SOCK, GPG_AGENT_INFO, DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS, XDG_RUNTIME_DIR, WAYLAND_DISPLAY and DISPLAY are removed (unless [sandbox] allow_unix_sockets = true), and TMPDIR points at a private temporary directory. Anything else in your environment — API tokens included — is visible to them, so don’t export secrets you wouldn’t want a command to read. See the security model.

The model server’s own settings (for example OLLAMA_CONTEXT_LENGTH) are read by the server, not by aivyx-coder — see Local model servers.
