## 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 2026-11-05.

- **Supply Chain Security**: 100/100
  - No malware found by supply-chain analysis.
  - No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.
  - No install/post-install scripts declared.
  - No production dependencies, so there is no dependency health to assess.
- **Provenance & Transparency**: 39/100
  - Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL.
  - Provenance check failed: no build-provenance attestation is published.
  - Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).
  - Maintenance check failed: the publisher has marked this version as deprecated on the registry, telling users to stop installing it.
  - Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 74/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 225 tokens (~75/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**: 60/100
  - Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-06-18; 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.

### 2026-10-31 (score 68, 0)

- [functional regression] Security disclosure: unverified → fail

### 2026-10-30 (score 68)

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (3)

### `tari_tip` (~57 tokens)

The tip of the Tari base layer (Minotari): the latest block's height, hash and time, and how many transactions wait in the mempool.

Input parameters:

- `network` (string): mainnet, or the esmeralda testnet

### `tari_block` (~70 tokens)

One Tari base-layer block: hash, previous hash, time, proof-of-work algorithm, total coinbase in XTM, and how many outputs, inputs and kernels it holds.

Input parameters:

- `height` (integer, required): Block height
- `network` (string): mainnet, or the esmeralda testnet

### `tari_block_outputs` (~98 tokens)

The outputs of one Tari base-layer block: type, commitment, hash and maturity, and for coinbases the miner's coinbase extra data as text (often the mining software or pool). Set coinbase_only to see just who mined it.

Input parameters:

- `coinbase_only` (boolean): Only the coinbase outputs
- `height` (integer, required): Block height
- `network` (string): mainnet, or the esmeralda testnet
