```javascript
// Example: Execute secure command workflow
await mcp.request("execute_command", {
  command: "npm install && npm test",
  security_level: "high",
  timeout: 60000
});

// Example: Monitor terminal processes
await mcp.request("monitor_processes", {
  filter: "node",
  metrics: ["cpu", "memory", "duration"]
});
```
