Maat – AI agents that can diagnose Ubuntu but can't change it

Summary

maat is an open-source MCP server and toolkit that lets AI agents diagnose Ubuntu machines while blocking them from changing anything without human approval. It runs in a strictly confined, network-less snap, turns fixes into typed plans that require polkit authentication, and keeps a hash-chained audit trail.
