Publisher claims: "Windows desktop-control MCP server: screenshot, window mgmt, mouse/keyboard input, and screen-recording. Config-gated tool groups (observe/window/input/record) -- input disabled by default. Local-only, single-machine." Observed in sandbox: no network, touches nothing outside the project, writes no memory.
