Safety notes

This statusline is advisory and should not be used as the only MCP authorization review., It intentionally avoids printing full URLs, local paths, header names, tokens, or environment variable values., Remote endpoints and credential hints should trigger a separate review of protected resource metadata, scopes, and token handling.

Privacy notes

The statusline reads Claude Code session metadata from stdin and prints only counts plus a generic credential hint., Avoid modifying the script to print full server URLs, headers, tokens, local config paths, or account identifiers on shared screens.
