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 child = spawn(launch.command, launch.args, { cwd, stdio: ["pipe", "pipe", "pipe"], windowsHide: true });

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(launch.command, launch.args, { cwd, stdio: ["pipe", "pipe", "pipe"], windowsHide: true });
