Security Notes
The server correctly uses environment variables for API keys, preventing hardcoded secrets. It employs `httpx` with explicit timeouts for external API calls and includes basic error handling for network requests by catching broad exceptions and returning `None`. There is no use of `eval` or obvious malicious patterns. The scope is limited to API proxying, reducing attack surface. A minor improvement could be more specific exception handling instead of a general `except Exception` to differentiate network issues from other potential errors.
