What the code does

We read the source, 2 h ago · rules 995398eba69f

A tool parameter reaches a dangerous call

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.

Capabilities

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.

    r = subprocess.run([_python(), "-m", "pytest", "-q"], cwd=root, capture_output=True,
In the project's build, not in the package

Found in continuous integration, deployment or infrastructure files, or in a neighbouring package of the same monorepo. None of this is installed when you add the server: it describes how the project is built and released. We list it because a leaked key in a build pipeline is still a real problem, but it is not something this server does on your machine.

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

A tool parameter here reaches a dangerous call

That is not a flaw by itself — but it is where things go wrong when it is not the job. We re-read this code on every release. Watch it and you hear from us the day another one appears.

Connect this server

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

FirstAGI Arena — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for FirstAGI Arena?
FirstAGI Arena runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the pypi package firstagi-arena was installed 504 times last week.
How do I connect FirstAGI Arena?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls firstagi-arena straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use FirstAGI Arena?
The pypi package firstagi-arena was installed 504 times in the last week. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is FirstAGI Arena open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python, 1 stars on GitHub and 16 open issues. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
