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 dirPath = path.join(currentPath, dirName);

      execSync(`taskkill /F /PID ${pid}`, { stdio: "ignore" });
