Risks to watch for

Dependency & version pinning: Distributed via npm (claude-faf-mcp). Pin an exact release version or commit SHA rather than floating tags so upstream updates are reviewed first.

How to lower the risk

Least-privilege permissions

Give it access only to the specific folders, accounts or projects it needs, never your whole drive or admin account.
Use a separate, limited API key or login just for this tool so you can switch it off without affecting anything else.

Network isolation

Run it on a work computer or sandbox account, not one holding personal or company-sensitive data.
If your IT team can, limit which websites and services it is allowed to contact.

Monitoring

Check its activity history or logs weekly at first, and look at what it changed or sent.
Turn on alerts for new logins or unusual usage on any account it connects to.

Red flags to watch for

It asks for more access than its job requires, or prompts you to paste passwords.
It suddenly updates with new owners, or starts contacting unfamiliar websites.
