}write_to_terminalWrites a command to the active iTerm terminal and executes it.
Unrestricted command execution can have significant consequences.
read_terminal_outputReads a specified number of lines from the active iTerm terminal.
Read-only operation with no side effects.
send_control_characterSends a control character (e.g., Ctrl+C) to the active iTerm terminal.
Can interrupt processes or alter terminal behavior.
iTerm-MCP offers powerful terminal interaction capabilities but poses significant risks due to the lack of command restrictions and potential for unexpected model behavior. It's reasonably safe for experienced users who closely monitor model actions and understand terminal commands, but risky for novice users or unsupervised environments.
