Environment

Name	Required	Notes
PIXINSIGHT_BIN	No	Path to the PixInsight executable. When unset, the default install location for the OS is used.
PIXINSIGHT_DIR	No	PixInsight install root, from which the executable and its resources are derived. When unset, the default install location for the OS is used.
PIXINSIGHT_CONNECTOR_PACKS	No	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_AUTOSTART	No	0 stops the connector from starting PixInsight when a tool call finds it not running.
PIXINSIGHT_CONNECTOR_WORKSPACE	No	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_CONNECTOR_STATE	No	Where the connector's session files (scratch, bridge, logs) go, resolved against the target folder. When unset, <target>/agentic.
PIXINSIGHT_CONNECTOR_LOG	No	0 turns off the per-session call logs in <target>/agentic/logs.
