The agent is not limited to coding tasks; it can be used for research, writing, automation, data analysis, and more. Goose supports over 70 extensions, connecting to databases, APIs, browsers, GitHub, Google Drive, and more through the Model Context Protocol (MCP) open standard. Users can add skills or create their own extensions.
Goose works with more than 15 language model providers, including Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Ollama, OpenRouter, Azure, and Bedrock. It allows the use of API keys or existing subscriptions like Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini via the Agent Client Protocol (ACP).
The platform supports capturing workflows as portable YAML configurations, known as recipes, which can be shared, run in CI, and include instructions, extensions, parameters, and subrecipes. Goose also allows for the creation of interactive UIs within its desktop app through MCP Apps.
Security is a priority, with features like prompt injection detection, tool permission controls, sandbox mode, and an adversary reviewer to monitor for unsafe actions. Goose is part of the Agentic AI Foundation at the Linux Foundation, ensuring it remains vendor-neutral and community-governed.
