What the code does

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.
local fn, lerr = loadstring("return " .. payload, "=request")
out = subprocess.run(["pgrep", "-f", _RESOLVE_PROCESS], stdout=subprocess.PIPE,
path = os.path.join(scripts_dir, name)

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.
