what we found

Reading the source raised 2 review prompts — purpose mismatch and tool shadowing — each a pattern worth a human look rather than a finding of fault.

Its 13 tools appear to reach shell / exec and untrusted content, inferred from tool names, descriptions and input schemas rather than from observed behaviour.

Since the previous scan on 2026-10-09: 7 tools added and 1 tool removed.
