Compare two AI tools side by side
Put any two skills or MCP servers next to each other: risk grade, what each can access, how popular it is, and how to install it.

| Command execution | No shell command runner noted | No shell command runner noted |
| Network reach | Connects to outside service API | Connects to outside service API |
| Credentials | Requires API key or token | No API token required |
| Package source | npm (sqz-cli) | GitHub (78/xiaozhi-esp32) |
| Install command | npx -y sqz-cli | Source repo only |
| Bottom line | sqz requires API keys or tokens; restrict its folder reach, network access, and credentials before installing. | xiaozhi-esp32 (MCP server) requires careful permission scoping — credential exposure: Embedded systems may store API keys or MCP authentication tokens in firmware, increasing exfiltration risk if the device is compromised or physically accessed |
