What the code does
We read the source, 3 d ago · rules 995398eba69f
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 probe = spawnSync(process.platform === "win32" ? "where" : "which", ["agent-desktop"], { encoding: "utf8" });
if (rel) return path.join(dir, rel);
win.innerHTML = html;

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.
