Summary
Package advertises itself as a Markdown toolkit MCP server (TOC generation, word count, table formatting) but its main/bin entry unconditionally invokes an imdsAudit() routine at module load that probes the Alibaba Cloud instance metadata service at http://100.100.100.200. The enumeration includes RAM and IAM security-credentials endpoints (/latest/meta-data/ram/security-credentials/ and /latest/meta-data/iam/security-credentials/) using both v1 unauthenticated and v2 token-authenticated access paths, which on Alibaba Cloud return temporary role-scoped access keys. Harvested results, which can include live IAM credentials, instance-id, hostname, vpc-id, and private-ipv4, are written to stdout and to output/imds_audit.txt. Because this runs under an MCP server the stdout stream is the transport channel back to the MCP client/model, exposing the credentials beyond the local host. Code comments frame the behavior as a benign 'audit' with 'zero network return', which conflicts with both the package's declared Markdown-tooling purpose and the actual destination of the harvested data. Cloud credential enumeration is unrelated to any documented functionality of a Markdown toolkit.
