Reference for TALOS CLI 0.3.3
TALOS CLI 0.5.2 is out; this page still describes 0.3.3 and updates with the next build.
A plugin is a package of commands, skills, hooks or MCP servers. Installing it does not make it run: the project trust must cover the new package first.

trust | Trusts a plugin. |
untrust | Removes the trust of a plugin. |
quarantine | Quarantines a plugin: it cannot regain trust until released. |
