The server demonstrates a strong security posture. It is designed for local processing with explicit claims of 'no external APIs' for core operations, enhancing privacy. Input validation and type coercion are rigorously applied to tool parameters (see `daemon/validate.rs` and `daemon/coerce.rs`), mitigating injection and misuse vulnerabilities. The use of robust, lock-free concurrency primitives (ArcSwap, DashMap) minimizes common concurrency bugs that could have security implications. No 'eval' or dynamic code execution patterns were identified. While it exposes a network-facing daemon (defaulting to localhost), this is a common pattern for local services. The initial download of embedding models from HuggingFace requires internet access but is from a trusted source and cached locally, with inference then performed entirely offline. No hardcoded secrets were found; external database credentials (for SurrealDB) are user-provided configuration.
