What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.
const stored = path.join(trashDir, id, path.basename(abs));
for (const [key, val] of Object.entries(process.env)) {
Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.
We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start:
NOTES_DIR (Directory containing your markdown notes (defaults to ~/notes).), NOTES_READONLY (Set to 1 or true to disable all note-modifying tools.), NOTES_MODEL_DIR (Where the semantic-search embedding model is cached.).
The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.
