| Dimension | Result | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Transport Security | Both | Stdio is local-only process communication. SSE/HTTP exposes network attack surface. |
| Authentication | API Key | Static API key — long-lived secret must be stored securely. |
| Token Lifecycle | Long-lived (Static) | Short-lived tokens limit exposure window if compromised. Long-lived tokens require secure rotation policies. |
| Input Handling | Parameterized (Safe) | Parameterized inputs prevent injection attacks. Shell strings enable command injection vectors. |
| Data Residency | Cloud | Local-only data never leaves your machine. Cloud residency means data flows through third-party APIs. |
