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.
['Delete lane', async () => { if (!lane.cards.length || (await Dialog.confirm(`Delete the lane "${lane.title}" and its ${lane.cards.length} card(s)?`))) change(() => { board.lanes.splice(li, 1); }); }],

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.
