# Have you ever actually seen the agent's context? What if you could fully control it? > Source: > Published: 2026-10-02 11:01:58+00:00 Most terminal LLM agents become black boxes when context fills up. You can't inspect what the model is carrying, remove specific items, or know why something was dropped. [kamchatka](https://github.com/ljedrz/nachalnik/tree/master/kamchatka) is different: a Rust terminal agent where context, tools, permissions, and requests are explicit, first-class state. The context tab shows every item, its cost, whether it's in the next request, and why not. You can move items between active/elided/excluded, pin things compaction can't touch, and see the exact request. Most agents optimize for autonomy. kamchatka optimizes for legibility.
