The Continue CLI runs Continue assistants headlessly — driving the same block-based config (rules, MCP servers, prompts, models) in terminals, scripts, and CI, including a GitHub-Actions PR-review bot pattern. Security surface: executes MCP tools and applies rules autonomously in CI/terminal contexts, so bundled MCP servers get shell/tool access.
