What the reviewer found
MCP setup guide for the Simmer trading-agent SDK: it explicitly tells the agent not to auto-install Node via curl|sh, the sudo apt-get lines just install Node.js the standard way, and the flagged curl call registers an agent key against Simmer's own api.simmer.markets endpoint. The env/config-path discussion is about wiring the user's own API key into their own MCP client, not harvesting secrets.

How this review was made
Sonnet 5 read the files above on 7 September 2026 and answered three questions: is it dangerous to whoever installs it, is each scanner finding real, and what should the installer know. The verdict is bound to the file's hash; when the file changes, it is scanned afresh and reviewed again. A script that changes while the definition does not is not re-reviewed — that is a known gap. How the scan and the review work.
