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.

- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 78/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 270 tokens (~90/item across 3 items; 3 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 3 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 3 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.

## Changelog

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.

### 2026-09-16 (score 65)

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (3)

### `release.analyze` (~99 tokens)

Analyze the changes in a repository since a reference. Classifies commits, detects breaking changes from messages and removed exports, and recommends the next semver bump.

Input parameters:

- `from` (string): Start ref, for example a tag or commit. Defaults to the last tag, or the first commit if no tags exist.
- `path` (string): Repository root. Defaults to the current directory.
- `to` (string): End ref. Defaults to HEAD.

### `release.notes` (~79 tokens)

Generate release notes from the commits since a reference. Groups commits by type and flags breaking changes.

Input parameters:

- `from` (string): Start ref. Defaults to the last tag, or the first commit if no tags exist.
- `path` (string): Repository root. Defaults to the current directory.
- `to` (string): End ref. Defaults to HEAD.

### `release.bump` (~92 tokens)

Recommend the next semantic version for the repository given its current version and the analyzed changes.

Input parameters:

- `bump` (string): Override the bump type instead of detecting it
- `from` (string): Start ref. Defaults to the last tag, or the first commit if no tags exist.
- `path` (string): Repository root. Defaults to the current directory.
- `to` (string): End ref. Defaults to HEAD.
