What the code does
We read the source, 1 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.
const proc = spawn(bin!, args, { cwd: opts.cwd, stdio: ['ignore', 'pipe', 'pipe'] });

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.
