What the code does

We read the source, 21 h ago · rules 3dff92dd89df

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.

A tool parameter reaches a dangerous call launch_app.command → server.py:343, close_instance.instance → server.py:212, click.instance → server.py:112 и ещё 2

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.

Runs an external command server.py:101

    return subprocess.run(["xdpyinfo", "-display", _disp(n)], capture_output=True).returncode == 0

Builds a file path from a variable server.py:305

            prof = os.path.join(HERE, "profiles", f"chromium-{n}")

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

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.

Glovebox MCP — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Glovebox MCP?

Glovebox MCP runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone.

Is Glovebox MCP open source?

Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python and 13 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
