Gulliver runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 1 235 installs a week from pypi. Last commit 7 Nov 2026.
Dress rehearsal for agent SQL: cost preflight, auto-fix, 1% sample runs, budget-gated execution.
What the code does
We read the source, 9 h ago · rules 995398eba69f
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.
const r = spawnSync(cmd, ["--version"], { stdio: "ignore" });
proc = subprocess.run([exe, "-C", str(repo), *args], input=stdin, capture_output=True, check=False) # noqa: S603

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.
