Limitations and things to check

Before you connect it:

The README mentions: can run commands or code on your machine; controls or scrapes a web browser.
Read the code or the documentation of the tools it exposes, and note what each tool can do.
Grant the smallest permissions you can: limit folders, API scopes and database roles.
Keep credentials in environment variables or a secrets manager, never in a shared config file.
Run it in a container or a separate user account if it can execute code or touch files.
