  With TOOLSETS unset all tool groups load. Set TOOLSETS=default for the core groups or ENABLED_TOOLS for an exact list. github.com

  Attachment upload takes a file path on the machine running the server. Only approve uploads you expect. github.com

• HTTP mode listens on all interfaces by default

  If you run it as a network server instead of the normal local setup, the default host is 0.0.0.0. Bind it to 127.0.0.1 or put authentication in front. github.com
