Things with no honest explanation: a promise that contradicts the code, code that runs at install time while hiding what it does, data leaving the machine.

        r = subprocess.run(["security", "find-generic-password", "-s", item, "-w"], capture_output=True, text=True)

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.

        r = subprocess.run(["security", "find-generic-password", "-s", item, "-w"], capture_output=True, text=True)
