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.

A line of code looks encrypted src/altium/schlib/writer.rs:2145
                format!("|RECORD=45|OwnerIndex=4|IndexInSheet=-1|%UTF8%Description={twin}|||Description={plain}|ModelName=R0603|ModelType=PCBLIB|DatafileCount=1|ModelDatafileEntity0=R0603|ModelDatafileKind0=PCBLib|IsCurrent=T|UniqueID=JJJJJJJJ"),

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

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.
