What the code does

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.

      writeFileSync(tempFile, job.parameters.code, 'utf-8');

Things with no honest explanation: a promise that contradicts the code, code that runs at install time while hiding what it does, data leaving the machine.

const hasNcpEnvVars = Object.keys(process.env).some(key => key.startsWith('NCP_'));

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.

postinstall: npm run build:if-dev

    const skillDir = path.join(this.skillsDir, skillDirName);

      const child = spawn(command, args, {

      `Update with: ${chalk.cyan(`ncp update ${mcpInfo.name}`)}`

const hasNcpEnvVars = Object.keys(process.env).some(key => key.startsWith('NCP_'));

      const files = await fs.readdir(photonDir);
