What the code does

We read the source, 20 h ago · rules 3dff92dd89df

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 file or shell call blinkbox_api_get.path → apps/backend/src/nodes/agentTools.nodes.js:435, blinkbox_api_get.path → apps/backend/src/nodes/agentTools.nodes.js:463
    const content = await fs.readFile(args.path, args.encoding || "utf8");
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.

  const filePath = path.join(LOCAL_DIR, key);
  const result = await redis.eval(renewScript, 1, key, ownerId, ttlSeconds);
    y: AGENT_SUB_DROP + depth * 130,
export const DOCKER_SOCKET         = process.env.DOCKER_SOCKET         || "/var/run/docker.sock";
  const res = await fetch(`https://api.telegram.org/bot${botToken}/${method}${params}`, {

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

That is not a flaw by itself — but it is where things go wrong when it is not the job. We re-read this code on every release. Watch it and you hear from us the day another one appears.

This endpoint answered with an authorization challenge. The server is running, and it signs you in through your browser: there is no API key to paste.

Blinkbox — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no tool list for Blinkbox?
The server answered our handshake with an authorization challenge, so it is running — but it will not describe its tools to an anonymous client. To see them you need to connect with your own credentials. We record it as alive, not as broken: 100.0% of checks in the last 24 hours got a reply.
Is Blinkbox working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 92 of 92 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 345 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Blinkbox?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address. You sign in through your browser once and the client keeps the session: no key to copy, and it refuses anonymous clients.
How do you sign in to Blinkbox?
No API key is involved. Blinkbox answers our knock with an OAuth challenge, so you authorise it once in your browser and the client keeps the session. That is also why we see no tool list: it will not describe itself to an anonymous client, and that is the server working as intended, not a fault.
How fast is Blinkbox?
It answers our handshake in 345 ms on average, which is faster than 45% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
Is Blinkbox open source?
We cannot say either way: written in JavaScript and 3 stars on GitHub, but we could not determine the licence, and without one the code is not open source by default.
