Security Notes

The server includes robust URL protocol validation to prevent requests to disallowed schemes, which is a good security practice. However, the Playwright Chromium browser is launched with `--no-sandbox` argument in `BrowserService`. While often necessary in containerized environments, disabling the browser sandbox reduces isolation from potentially malicious web content, making the host system more vulnerable if the browser itself is compromised. The `browser_install` tool uses `child_process.spawn` with `shell: true` on Windows, which is generally riskier, but the command and arguments are fixed and controlled, mitigating some of this risk. No direct `eval` or hardcoded sensitive secrets were identified.
