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 read = (f) => fs.readFileSync(path.join(here, f), 'utf8');
const child = spawn(file, args, { cwd: opts.cwd, env: opts.env, stdio: ["ignore", "pipe", "pipe"], detached: true });
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.
