Security Notes
The server's design inherently grants powerful capabilities (running arbitrary Apify Actors) when provided with an API token. While the Apify platform provides sandboxing for Actors, misuse by a malicious LLM or user with a broadly permissioned token could lead to unintended actions. The server code itself does not show direct signs of 'eval' of untrusted input, obfuscation, or hardcoded sensitive API keys (Segment write keys are present, but less critical). It correctly handles API tokens via environment variables or a secure local file.
