A tool parameter reaches a dangerous call

A value the model can set ends up inside a file or shell call. That is not a flaw by itself — for a terminal server it is the job — but it is where things go wrong when it is not.

A tool parameter reaches a dangerous call launch_with_logging.command → src/gnome_ui_mcp/desktop/app_log.py:48, clipboard_read.mime_type → src/gnome_ui_mcp/desktop/input.py:1556, clipboard_write.mime_type → src/gnome_ui_mcp/desktop/input.py:1622 и ещё 1

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.

Runs an external command src/gnome_ui_mcp/desktop/app_log.py:48, src/gnome_ui_mcp/desktop/input.py:1556, src/gnome_ui_mcp/desktop/screencast.py:145 и ещё 1
