Is drawio safe to install?

Review the source first: our audit of drawio's source files found 7 shell commands, 0 external URLs, file reads and writes (high risk). Every command and URL listed appears verbatim in the skill's source. The skill executes shell commands to process diagram files and interacts with the local filesystem to read/write diagrams and sidecar configuration files.
