## FAQ

### What can the retrace tool do?

It deobfuscates a stack trace using a mapping.txt file from the same build, producing output that matches Google's retrace.

### Does the server store my data?

No, the hosted server handles requests in memory without a database and does not log request bodies.

### Are the tools safe to use with sensitive information?

While the crash_to_prompt tool redacts emails, tokens, and IP addresses, you should always review crash logs before sharing them.

### Can I run this server locally?

Yes, you can run it as a local stdio server using the command `npx -y androidboss mcp`.
