What the code does
We read the source, 14 h 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.
postinstall: node install/postinstall.mjs
const child = spawn(command.file, args, { env, stdio: ["pipe", "pipe", "pipe"], windowsHide: true })

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.
