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 filepath.Abs(filepath.Join(RequestWorkspace(ctx, req), path))
KeyFile string `json:"key_file,omitempty" jsonschema:"Path to SSH private key file (e.g. ~/.ssh/id_rsa)"`

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.
