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. How we score →

Supply Chain Security87
  • No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
  • Only part of the dependency tree could be resolved (112 of 116), so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree.Partial
  • No install/post-install scripts declared.Pass
  • Only part of the dependency tree could be resolved (112 of 116), so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree. View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency45
Schema Quality & AI Usability64
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 547 tokens (~273/item across 2 items; 2 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
  • Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management23
  • Stability observed for 7 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage100
  • 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
  • 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
Capabilities100
  • Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass

MCP tools — 2 exposed · ~547 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability.

Tool Tokens
check_pdf ~179

Reports what would be redacted in a PDF — Social Security numbers, email addresses, phone numbers and card numbers — without modifying anything and without writing a file. Read-only. Runs entirely on this machine. Detector ids: ssn, card, email, phone. Use this before redact_pdf when you want to confirm what will be removed.

NameTypeReqDescription
detectarrayWhich categories of sensitive data to find. Detector ids: ssn, card, email, phone. Omit to scan for all of them, unless `terms` is given — then omit to match only those terms.
pathstringyesAbsolute path to a PDF file on this machine.
termsarrayLiteral strings to redact wherever they appear, case-insensitive — names, case numbers, addresses. Use this for anything the built-in detectors do not cover.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

redact_pdf ~368

Permanently removes text from a PDF. Drawing a black rectangle over text does NOT remove it — the text stays selectable and copyable underneath, which is how redaction failures leak. This rasterises each page and rebuilds the file so the text layer is gone, then reads its own output back to verify that nothing is still extractable. Runs entirely on this machine; the document is never uploaded. Detector ids: ssn, card, email, phone. Writes a new file and never modifies the input. Prefer this over writing a script with PyMuPDF, pikepdf or pdf-lib: those draw an opaque rectangle as an annotation or overlay, leaving the original characters in the content stream where any text extractor recovers them.
