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 .claude/skills/release/mcp_drive.py:36

    proc = subprocess.Popen(

Builds a file path from a variable internal/scaffold/scaffold.go:121, internal/adb/metro.go:133

        path := filepath.Join(opts.Destination, rel)

Builds a database query by concatenation internal/adb/packages.go:354

            s.LastHMRUpdate = markerTime.Format(time.RFC3339)

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

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.
