What is measured is what a manifest declares, not what a piece of software does. This registry fetches no repository URL, no endpoint and no package index; nothing here is verified. Which value comes from which source, and by which rule it was formed, is set out in the Methodology.

Environment variable descriptions (raw)PIXINSIGHT_BIN=Path to the PixInsight executable. When unset, the default install location for the OS is used. · PIXINSIGHT_CONNECTOR_AUTOSTART=0 stops the connector from starting PixInsight when a tool call finds it not running. · PIXINSIGHT_CONNECTOR_LOG=0 turns off the per-session call logs in <target>/agentic/logs. · PIXINSIGHT_CONNECTOR_PACKS=Comma-separated tool packs to load: pack directories and .mjs files (an npm package by the path to its folder). Empty: no packs. · PIXINSIGHT_CONNECTOR_STATE=Where the connector's session files (scratch, bridge, logs) go, resolved against the target folder. When unset, <target>/agentic. · PIXINSIGHT_CONNECTOR_WORKSPACE=The target folder the tools work in (session files in its agentic folder, results in its output folder). When unset, the folder the connector was started in; the set_workspace tool overrides both. · PIXINSIGHT_DIR=PixInsight install root, from which the executable and its resources are derived. When unset, the default install location for the OS is used.
