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.

  return fs.readFileSync(path.join(PROMPTS_DIR, filename), 'utf8');

Found in continuous integration, deployment or infrastructure files, or in a neighbouring package of the same monorepo.

We list it because a leaked key in a build pipeline is still a real problem, but it is not something this server does on your machine.
