Prompt-injection passthrough1 finding

INFOtests/test_tools.py — HEURISTIC: this file both fetches external content and returns content as tool output, with no obvious sanitization. External text returned into tool output can carry instructions an agent obeys (prompt-injection passthrough). Confirm manually; this is a hint, not proof.

Permission scope breadth1 finding

INFOsrc/pmcp/tools/handlers.py — HEURISTIC: broad capability surface in one file (filesystem, network, subprocess). A scope-breadth hint: the more distinct host capabilities a server touches, the more a buyer is granting. Confirm it matches the stated function.

How to read this: these are static checks over the source at a point in time. They catch the patterns above, not everything. Absence of a flag is not absence of danger, and a tool that runs cleanly can still behave differently once installed. We do not call any tool simply "safe". Runtime-behavior checks are the next layer we are adding.
