Security Notes
The server *directly executes* AWS CLI commands via subprocess without application-layer command filtering, relying entirely on the host's IAM policies for authorization. It includes strong OS-level sandboxing (Landlock/Bubblewrap/Seatbelt) and recommends Docker hardening (read-only filesystem, dropped capabilities, PID limits) to mitigate host-level risks. However, a permissive IAM policy could allow the AI to perform destructive or unintended actions, as the server does not perform command validation beyond ensuring it's an 'aws' command. No hardcoded secrets or 'eval' patterns found.
