## Description

Append Log provides agents with two tools — append and query — to write timestamped JSON entries to a JSONL file and retrieve them by recency. It runs as a stdio server via binary or Docker container, with environment variables controlling the file path and which tools are exposed. The project is written in Go and supports binary, HTTP transport, and Docker Compose deployment modes.
