Check local disk usage and search files by keyword.
This MCP tool is described as a local utility for disk usage inspection and file keyword search, with no stated secrets or remote egress, so the overall risk appears relatively low. The main considerations are its local execution and filesystem access capabilities, while the open-source source is visible but has weak adoption and unclear maintenance.
The materials explicitly state that no keys or environment variables are required, and there is no indication of API tokens, account credentials, or other sensitive authentication data, so credential exposure appears limited.
No remote endpoints or network dependencies are declared, and the described functionality is limited to local disk inspection and file search; based on the available materials, there is no evidence of user data being sent to external services.
The system flags this tool as having executes-code capability, indicating it can run code locally or trigger system-level operations. This is a common property for MCP tools, but it still warrants caution because misuse could affect the local environment.
Its stated functions include checking disk usage and searching local files by keyword, implying access at least to local filesystem metadata and potentially broad directory traversal. This scope is broadly consistent with the declared purpose, but it does expose local data visibility and should be limited to necessary paths.
A public source repository is available for inspection, which is a positive factor; however, the source is a third_party_registry entry, the repository has no declared license, community adoption is 0 stars, and maintenance status is unknown. This gives it only moderate supply-chain trust, so code and dependency review in an isolated environment is advisable.
