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.
out = subprocess.run(["ps", "-o", "ppid=,comm=", "-p", str(pid)], capture_output=True, text=True, timeout=5).stdout.split(None, 1)

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.
