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.

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.
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.

Defaults to lab, which skips approval prompts and still enforces the cross-process lock, the quiet-input gate, target activation and on-screen confirmation; safe asks before every physical input), BROWSERTAP_BRIDGE_PORT (Base loopback port for the bridge daemon. Defaults to 18765), BROWSERTAP_STATE_DIR (Directory holding the bridge token and runtime state. Defaults to ~/.browsertap).
