Security Notes
The server uses `process.env.UW_API_KEY` for API authentication, preventing hardcoded secrets. Path parameters are explicitly validated and encoded to prevent path traversal (`/`, `\`, `..`) attempts. It implements robust resilience features like client-side rate limiting and a circuit breaker pattern, enhancing stability and preventing API abuse. While reliance on an external API inherently carries some risk, the server's design focuses on data retrieval rather than arbitrary code execution from API responses, mitigating direct code injection risks.
