What the code does
We read the source, 2 d ago · rules 995398eba69f
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.
if os.path.exists("/.dockerenv"):
filepath = os.path.join(self._config.path, filename)
result = subprocess.run(
shell=True,
return eval(code, {"__builtins__": {}}, namespace)
elapsed = now - state.last_update
current_tokens = min(capacity, state.tokens + elapsed * refill_rate)
result_data = pickle.load(f)

This code can reach further than it looks
We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.
