Security Notes
The server demonstrates strong security practices. It uses Zod for robust input validation for all tool parameters. API keys are securely handled, preferring explicit configuration or environment variables, and are not hardcoded. All external HTTP requests to Exa AI are made via axios with configured timeouts (25-30 seconds) and comprehensive error handling, distinguishing between Axios-specific and generic errors. There is no usage of 'eval' or other inherently dangerous functions, and the codebase is clear and follows standard practices. The primary network risk is reliance on the external Exa AI API, which is a standard part of its functionality.
