## 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 2026-08-03.

- **Supply Chain Security**: 87/100
  - No malware found by supply-chain analysis.
  - Only part of the dependency tree could be resolved (96 of 100), so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree.
  - No install/post-install scripts declared.
  - Only part of the dependency tree could be resolved (96 of 100), so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree.
- **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 85 days ago).
  - Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 71/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 771 tokens (~110/item across 7 items; 7 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**: 69/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 6% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **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.

## MCP tools (7)

### `search_images` (~189 tokens)

Federated image search across license-aware providers (Wikimedia Commons, Openverse, Unsplash, Pexels, Pixabay, iTunes, MusicBrainz CAA, Spotify, Brave). Returns concise ranked candidates with license + attribution. Does NOT auto-download — call `download_image` after. Default safe-only policy includes open, platform-license, editorial/press tags and rejects UNKNOWN. Use open-only for CC/public-domain only. For large batches, prefer CLI: webfetch batch --jsonl --continue-on-error.

Input parameters:

- `licensePolicy` (string)
- `maxPerProvider` (integer)
- `minHeight` (integer)
- `minWidth` (integer)
- `providers` (array)
- `query` (string, required): What to search for (e.g., 'Drake musician portrait')
- `safeSearch` (string)
- `timeoutMs` (integer)

### `search_artist_images` (~160 tokens)

Specialized image search for a musical artist. `kind` selects provider set + query expansion: 'portrait' (Wikimedia + Unsplash + Spotify), 'album' (MusicBrainz CAA + iTunes + Spotify), 'logo' (Wikimedia), 'performing' (Wikimedia + Pexels). Prefer this over `search_images` when building artist/band content.

Input parameters:

- `artist` (string, required)
- `kind` (string)
- `licensePolicy` (string)
- `maxPerProvider` (integer)
- `minHeight` (integer)
- `minWidth` (integer)
- `providers` (array)
- `safeSearch` (string)
- `timeoutMs` (integer)

### `search_album_cover` (~119 tokens)

Find canonical album artwork. Uses MusicBrainz Cover Art Archive + iTunes + Spotify. Results are EDITORIAL_LICENSED — safe for album identification UI per platform ToS; always show attribution.

Input parameters:

- `album` (string, required)
- `artist` (string, required)
- `licensePolicy` (string)
- `maxPerProvider` (integer)
- `minHeight` (integer)
- `minWidth` (integer)
- `providers` (array)
- `safeSearch` (string)
- `timeoutMs` (integer)

### `download_image` (~80 tokens)

Download an image URL (typically from a prior search_images result) to the local disk cache. Streams with a 20MB hard cap, content-type guard, SHA-256 hash, and returns the cached file path. Host blocklist enforced.

Input parameters:

- `cacheDir` (string)
- `maxBytes` (integer)
- `url` (string, required)

### `fetch_with_license` (~83 tokens)

Given an arbitrary URL (image or webpage), determine its license via host heuristics + page metadata (<link rel=license>, dc.rights, og tags). Set probe: true to also download the bytes. Use when an agent already has a URL and needs a go/no-go decision before shipping.

Input parameters:

- `probe` (boolean)
- `url` (string, required)

### `find_similar` (~75 tokens)

Reverse-image-search: given a public image URL, find visually similar images. Requires SERPAPI_KEY env var and providers: ['serpapi']. Returns candidates with heuristic licenses — treat results as leads, not shippable.

Input parameters:

- `providers` (array)
- `url` (string, required): Public URL of the reference image

### `probe_page` (~65 tokens)

Given a webpage URL, return every <img> on the page with inferred dimensions and a heuristic license per image. Respects robots.txt by default. Use to triage a candidate source page before picking.

Input parameters:

- `respectRobots` (boolean)
- `url` (string, required)
