Security Notes

The server allows direct execution of terminal commands via `start_process`. Although it has a `blockedCommands` list and `allowedDirectories` for filesystem operations, the README explicitly states these can be bypassed by terminal commands (e.g., via symlinks, command substitution, or absolute paths). This means an AI agent, if not perfectly aligned or if exploited, could achieve arbitrary code execution and access/modify files outside the intended scope. The `is_safe_to_run` flag is set to true as the tool's core purpose is to provide these capabilities to an AI, implying a controlled environment and a capable agent.
