## 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

Moderate to critical — no credential declaration found, from the publisher, the upstream registry, or the README. Known so far: deletes data; 3 privileged tools.
- Floor 28, ceiling 64 (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.
