What the code does

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.
# Placeholder so `node dist/index.js` boots during introspection (tools/list # requires no real key). Overridden by the user's real key at runtime. ENV AETHERWAVE_API_KEY=aw_live_glama_introspection_placeholder

This code can reach further than it looks
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.
