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 → Why this is hard to score →
Supply Chain Security50
- Malware scan not yet available for this package.Unverified
- No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.Pass
- Runs hatchling.build at install time, a recognised build step with no custom scripting around it. View diagnostics → Pass
- 0 of 28 dependencies flagged as unhealthy. View diagnostics → Pass
Provenance & Transparency100
- Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL. View diagnostics → Pass
- Cryptographically verified build provenance (signed, bound to anzy-renlab-ai/pronounce). View diagnostics → Pass
- Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).Pass
- Actively maintained (last published 63 days ago).Pass
- Publishes a security disclosure policy (SECURITY.md).Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability78
- 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).Pass
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Tool/resource definitions use about 434 tokens (~108/item across 4 items; 3 tools + 1 resources), lean.Pass
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management67
- Stability observed for 20 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage71
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 0% of tool parameters carry a description.Fail
- Structured output schemas are declared (67% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 3 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 5 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass

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. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
list_pronunciations ~92
List dictionary entries, optionally filtered by category. Categories include: product, project, cli-tool, tool, cs-term, acronym, abbreviation, person. The dictionary holds well over 1500 entries and grows continuously, so the unfiltered list is large — pass `category` and/or `limit` to keep the result focused.

| category | – | – | – |
| limit | integer | – | – |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |

| result | array | yes | – |
No examples provided.
pronounce ~132
Look up the canonical pronunciation of a developer-related word. Returns the IPA, a respelling that approximates how engineers actually say the word, a playable MP3 `audio_url`, optional alternate readings, the source citation when available, and editorial notes. Use this for project names like `kubectl`, `nginx`, `GIF`, `JSON`, `Pydantic`, `Knative`, programmer jargon, and tech acronyms. Returns an error dict if the word is not in the dictionary; for general English vocabulary, fall back to your own knowledge.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| word | string | yes | – |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
search_pronunciations ~135
Search the dictionary by partial word or category match. Matches substrings against the entry's `word` and `category` only — the search index (/api/words.json) carries no notes or source text, so a query like "Kelsey" will NOT surface `kubectl`. To read an entry's notes, look it up with `pronounce`. Returns a list of matching entries with `word`, `slug`, `category`, and `confidence`. Use this when the exact spelling is unknown or when browsing entries by category.
