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.

Runs an external command src/briar/dashboard/collectors.py:627, src/briar/agent/tools.py:129, src/briar/commands/agent.py:704

        proc = subprocess.run(

Runs with shell=True src/briar/agent/tools.py:131

            shell=True,

Sends data to a third-party sink src/briar/messaging/telegram_chat.py:54, src/briar/notify/telegram.py:24

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.

briar — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for briar?

briar runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone.

Is briar open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python and 2 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
