Remove only that existing duplicate from its reported scope, for example claude mcp remove --scope local virustotal; use --scope user or --scope project only when that is its scope.

Stop for human review; do not bypass this guard by renaming the file, sending inline bytes or uploading it through the website.","fallback":"Without the plugin, the remote server cannot read a local path and rejects file: input. Use inline bytes only if the client can transmit them programmatically, or use the existing VirusTotal upload page and then get_file_report with the hash.
