One-line MCP call:

    check {"target":"npm:@playwright/mcp","action":"install"}

curl:

```bash
curl -s -X POST https://ogogoizwsfaduzehkshb.supabase.co/functions/v1/mcp/safety \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' -H 'accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \

```

This snapshot was produced with the header `X-KD-Via: kd-founder-test` so KarmaDue can exclude founder test traffic from usage counts when that tagging is in place. You do not need that header.
