- **Status:** clean
- **Scanned:** 2026-06-14T11:08:32.146Z

## Install

This entry has no npm package and no hosted endpoint, so there is nothing for an MCP client to launch or connect to. It is indexed as source only.

## Blast radius

Extensive to critical — no credential declaration found, from the publisher, the upstream registry, or the README. Known so far: runs commands; 6 privileged tools.
- Floor 39, ceiling 79 (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.
