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.
spawn(process.execPath, [fileURLToPath(import.meta.url), "consolidate", "--transcript", input.transcript_path], { detached: true, stdio: "ignore" }).on("error", () => {}).unref();

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.
