Capabilities

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.

Builds a file path from a variable src/config_file.ts:42, src/layers/l1_structure/files.ts:150, src/layers/l1_structure/manifest_loc.ts:38 и ещё 2
      raw = await read(path.join(dir, name));
    spawnSync("docker", ["rm", "-f", "-v", name], { stdio: "ignore", windowsHide: true, timeout: SANDBOX_TEARDOWN_MS });
Touches key and credential files src/layers/l1_structure/files.ts:26, src/layers/l2_static/js/constants.ts:188, src/layers/l2_static/py/tuning.ts:122 и ещё 4
