## Tools

3 declared. Statically extracted from the shipped source — a floor on the surface, not a census.
- `explain_command` — Explain any shell command offline: a plain-English, token-by-token breakdown of the program, its flags and operands — including pipes, redirects, subshells and 
- `check_command_safety` — Safety-check a shell command BEFORE executing it. Returns a risk verdict (danger / caution / none) and plain-English warnings for destructive patterns: rm -rf /
- `lint_script`

## Install

**Verdict: install** — No blocking findings and no open coverage gaps — safe to install as configured.
**Config** (claude-code):
```json
"{\n  \"mcpServers\": {\n    \"cmdxray\": {\n      \"command\": \"npx\",\n      \"args\": [\n        \"-y\",\n        \"cmdxray\"\n      ]\n    }\n  }\n}"
```

## Blast radius

Extensive to critical — no credential declaration found, from the publisher, the upstream registry, or the README. Known so far: runs commands; runs on your machine.
- Floor 43, ceiling 71 (tier: unknown)
- `unknown` means the floor and ceiling land in different bands — not measured enough to name one. It does not mean low.
- This is impact, not likelihood. A high radius is not a defect: a filesystem server is supposed to write files. It is never part of the trust score.
