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.
require('child_process').execSync(`taskkill /PID ${pid} /F`, { stdio: 'ignore' });
const resolved = path.isAbsolute(dbPath) ? dbPath : path.join(cwd, dbPath);
for (const [key, val] of Object.entries(process.env)) {

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.
