Security Notes
The server exposes powerful primitives like `browser_evaluate` for arbitrary JavaScript execution within the browser context, which is standard for browser automation but requires careful handling by the orchestrating model to prevent misuse. The `trySyncViaVSS` function on Windows uses `execSync` to run a PowerShell script with string interpolation for directory paths. While these paths are derived internally from `os.homedir()`, it could pose a risk if path variables were somehow compromised to allow command injection. The tool also provides network access for navigation and proxying, which is inherent to its functionality.
