What the code does
We read the source, 1 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.
return subprocess.run(cmd, capture_output=True, text=True, check=True)
async eval(expression) {
<tr><td>Click</td><td>seek there, and select that word</td></tr>
<tr><td>Drag, or Shift + click</td><td>extend the selection across words</td></tr>
env = dict(os.environ)

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.
