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 output = execSync(`${cmd} --version`, {

    proc = subprocess.run(cmd, capture_output=True)  # binary; we decode ourselves
