What the code does
We read the source, 10 d ago · rules ccca72095570
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.
spawn(opener, [file], { detached: true, stdio: 'ignore' }).unref();
const srcPath = path.join(dir, produced);
const chunks = (await fs.readdir(dir)).filter((f) => f.startsWith('chunk-')).sort();

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.
