what we found

Reading the source raised 2 review prompts — exfiltration combo and toxic flow (lethal trifecta) — each a pattern worth a human look rather than a finding of fault.

Its 16 tools appear to reach filesystem, network and untrusted content, inferred from tool names, descriptions and input schemas rather than from observed behaviour.
