# Install poetry with Homebrew, apk, apt, dnf, MacPorts, Nix, pacman, scoop Python package management tool. Version 2.4.1 via Homebrew; verified 2026-06-20. ## Install ```sh sudo av install brew:poetry ``` ## Agent safety answer poetry manages Python dependencies and package publishing. - **Credential access:** Reads PyPI tokens, repository credentials, environment variables, and project config. - **Remote mutation:** Can install dependencies and interact with package repositories. - **Publish/artifact risk:** Can build and publish Python packages. - **Recommended control:** Gate publish, config, and credentialed repository operations. - **Agent-use guidance:** Allow lock/test/build; require approval for publish and credential changes.
