The following operators pass through unchecked to the MongoDB server:\n\n| Operator | Where it can appear | Risk |\n|---|---|---|\n| `$where` | Any filter/query | Executes arbitrary JS on the MongoDB server |\n| `$function` | Aggregation `$expr`, `$addFields` | Executes arbitrary JS on the MongoDB server |\n| `$accumulator` | Aggregation `$group` | Executes arbitrary\n\n[Read the thread](https://github.com/bluwork/mongo-scout-mcp/issues/31) · 2026-02-27 · closed · 0 comments\n\n### sec: block write-capable aggregation stages ($out, $merge) in pipeline validator\n\n## Problem\n\nThe `aggregate` tool is registered as a read operation, making it available in read-only mode. However, users can pass write-capable aggregation stages (`$out`, `$merge`) through it, effectively bypassing read-only enforcement.\n\nThe pipeline validator (`src/utils/pipeline-validator.ts`) currently only validates stage count and expensive stage limits — it does not check for write-capable stages.\n\n## Impact\n\n- In read-only mode, a user (or an AI assistant via prompt injection) could ex\n\n[Read the thread](https://github.com/bluwork/mongo-scout-mcp/issues/29) · 2026-02-27 · closed · 0 comments\n\n### Log logger failures to stderr instead of silently swallowing them\n\n## Problem\n\nIn `src/utils/logger.ts` (lines 18, 31, 51), all file I/O errors during logging are silently swallowed:\n\n```typescript\n} catch (error) {\n  // Silently fail - logging is non-critical\n}\n```\n\nWhile the comment notes that logging is non-critical, completely silent failures make it impossible to diagnose logging system problems — such as filesystem permission issues, disk-full conditions, or misconfigured log directories.\n\n## Fix\n\nAt minimum, write a single `console.error` (or `process.st\n\n[Read the thread](https://github.com/bluwork/mongo-scout-mcp/issues/23) · 2026-02-07 · closed · 0 comments\n\n### Validate admin command parameters, not just command names\n\n## Problem\n\nIn `src/tools/monitoring.ts:210-228`, `runAdminCommand` checks the command name against a whitelist but does not validate the command's parameters:\n\n```typescript\nconst commandName = Object.keys(command)[0]?.toLowerCase();\nif (!commandName || !allowedCommands.includes(commandName)) {\n  // blocked\n}\n// But no validation of command[commandName] contents\n```\n\nWhile the whitelist limits which commands can run, whitelisted commands may still accept dangerous nested parameters that could h\n\n[Read the thread](https://github.com/bluwork/mongo-scout-mcp/issues/22) · 2026-02-07 · closed · 0 comments\n\n### Set up CI with GitHub Actions\n\n## Problem\n\nThere is no CI/CD configuration in the project — no GitHub Actions, no automated testing on PRs, no release pipeline. Combined with the lack of tests, this means regressions can ship silently.\n\n## Recommendation\n\n1. Add a basic GitHub Actions workflow that runs on PRs and pushes to main:\n   - `pnpm install`\n   - `pnpm build` (TypeScript compilation check)\n   - `tsc --noEmit` (type checking)\n   - `pnpm test` (once tests exist)\n   - Lint check (ESLint)\n2.
