The install script handles a path with spaces and a different working directory on a first run, and with a read-only home it stops with a clear error.",
  "breaks": "Still blocked at sign-in: the official MCP Python SDK client (2.3.0) could not initialize against the hosted connector without a token, and an unauthenticated tools/list returned 401 with an OAuth challenge, so no tool list or tool call was possible. Confirmed with new inputs: re-running the install script after editing a skill doesn't update it and instead nests a second copy in each skill folder; the README's manual copy step fails on a fresh home because nothing creates the skills folder. New: the README says the connector is free, while the vendor's pricing page lists paid plans from $89 a month with short free trials and shows no free plan.",

   "Trust rests on the vendor's hosted service, which asks for read and write access to your Google and ad accounts; review the scopes before connecting. Prescreen: caution for provenance (young repo with a very high star count for a few Markdown files, and a name easily confused with an unrelated project called OpenSEO). No malware list entry, no advisories, plain copy install script, no hooks; no non-public flaw found.",
   "Same cautions as the first run (provenance caution; the hosted service asks for read and write access to your Google and ad accounts, so review the scopes before connecting). The connector's public OAuth metadata also advertises the older plain PKCE method alongside S256; clients should use S256. No non-public exploitable flaw found."
