## Trust breakdown

How this component scores in each security and reliability category. Every signal is checked automatically from public evidence about the published package, including repeated runs of it in an isolated sandbox, and we only credit what we can confirm. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-10-04.

- **Supply Chain Security**: 98/100
  - No malware found by supply-chain analysis.
  - No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.
  - No install/post-install scripts declared.
  - 31 of 93 dependencies flagged as unhealthy.
- **Provenance & Transparency**: 45/100
  - Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL.
  - Provenance check failed: no build-provenance attestation is published.
  - Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).
  - Actively maintained (last published 5 days ago).
  - Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 76/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 392 tokens (~65/item across 6 items; 6 tools + 0 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 0/100
  - Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).
- **Tool Coverage**: 100/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 100% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 6 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 6 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

**Unverified: 1 category.** A category scored 0 because we could not verify it: a data source with nothing on this package, evidence we could not reach, or a check we could not run. We only credit what we can confirm.

Every change recorded for this component, newest first. Days that predate change tracking, or that we cannot explain, say so: "we were watching and nothing happened" and "we were not watching" are different claims.

### 2026-09-29 (score 70, +15)

- [security improvement] Malware scan: unverified → pass

### 2026-09-28 (score 55)

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (6)

### `scan_config_text` (~79 tokens)

Scan an MCP client config JSON string (Cursor mcp.json, Claude Desktop, Windsurf, or VS Code) for unpinned packages, secrets, wildcard auto-approve, unauthenticated remote endpoints, and typosquats.

Input parameters:

- `content` (string, required): Raw JSON config
- `label` (string): Optional filename shown in findings

### `scan_file` (~41 tokens)

Scan one MCP client config file, or a SKILL.md agent skill when the file has that name.

Input parameters:

- `path` (string, required): Path to the config file

### `scan_skill_text` (~72 tokens)

Scan one agent SKILL.md (YAML frontmatter plus body) for unrestricted allowed-tools, instruction override, credential file reads, and literal secrets. Name collisions across skills require a directory scan.

Input parameters:

- `content` (string, required): Raw SKILL.md text
- `label` (string): Optional filename shown in findings

### `scan_directory` (~94 tokens)

Find mcp.json, mcp_config.json, claude_desktop_config.json, and SKILL.md under a directory and audit each one. A directory scan also compares skill names. Does not start any MCP server.

Input parameters:

- `exclude` (array): Skip paths containing one of these strings
- `maxFiles` (integer): Maximum files to consider (default: 5000)
- `path` (string, required): Directory to search

### `scan_inventory` (~73 tokens)

Detect cross-server tool shadowing from an inventory of tool catalogs. Pass the tool names and descriptions already collected from each installed server. This tool does not connect to those servers.

Input parameters:

- `inventory` (string, required): JSON: {"servers":[{"name":"github","tools":[{"name":"create_issue","description":"..."}]}]}

### `list_patterns` (~33 tokens)

List the MCP config, agent skill, and cross-server shadowing checks, with their OWASP MCP Top 10 tags.
