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.

            select = list(select)
            paths = _IDENTITY_PATHS + _PRIVACY_PATHS.get(object_type, (("_private", ["private"]),))
