Quick brief
Use mutmut when an agent needs to evaluate how well a Python test suite actually detects behavioral changes before a risky merge or release. The agent can run mutation tests, collect surviving mutants, and point maintainers to weak assertions or missing cases. The boundary is mutation-based test-strength analysis for Python repositories, not a generic test runner or broad QA product listing.
