A value the model can set ends up inside a file or shell call. That is not a flaw by itself — for a terminal server it is the job — but it is where things go wrong when it is not.

    const child = spawn(command, config.credentialCommandArgs, {

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 child = spawn(command, config.credentialCommandArgs, {

      await verifyOpenedHandle(policy, file, path.join(canonicalParent, leaf), "file", message);

  const keyFiles = ["id_ed25519", "id_ecdsa", "id_ed25519_sk", "id_ecdsa_sk", "id_rsa"];

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: SSH_MCP_HTTP_ALLOWED_ORIGINS (Comma-separated allowed browser origins for Streamable HTTP clients. Keep this restricted when not using loopback.), SSH_MCP_HTTP_BEARER_TOKEN_FILE (Path to a bearer token file. Required for non-loopback HTTP bindings.), SSH_MCP_HTTP_PUBLIC_URL (Stable HTTPS public /mcp URL. Required for non-loopback HTTP bindings.), SSH_MCP_HTTP_TRUST_PROXY (Set to true only behind a trusted reverse proxy that controls forwarded headers.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.
