## 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**: 42/100
  - Malware check failed: a supply-chain vendor flagged a high-severity malware risk.
  - Only part of the dependency tree could be resolved (95 of 99), 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 (95 of 99), 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 32 days ago).
  - Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 77/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 247 tokens (~61/item across 4 items; 4 tools + 0 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 27/100
  - Stability observed for 8 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **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.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (4)

### `capture_audio` (~60 tokens)

Record a short clip of what the running web app is currently outputting. Returns a capture ID you can pass to analyze_audio or describe_audio.

Input parameters:

- `duration_ms` (number): How many milliseconds to record (default 3000, max 30000)

### `analyze_audio` (~55 tokens)

Run signal analysis on a captured audio clip. Returns RMS, peak dB, clipping, spectral centroid, frequency band energy, estimated BPM, and timing jitter.

Input parameters:

- `capture_id` (string, required): The capture ID returned by capture_audio

### `describe_audio` (~60 tokens)

Send a captured audio clip to Gemini or GPT-4o to get a plain-English description of what it sounds like — useful when something sounds wrong but you cannot describe it.

Input parameters:

- `capture_id` (string, required): The capture ID returned by capture_audio to describe

### `diff_audio` (~72 tokens)

Compare two audio captures and flag what changed — loudness, tone, timing, clipping. Use this before and after a code change to verify the audio impact.

Input parameters:

- `capture_id_a` (string, required): First capture ID (the "before")
- `capture_id_b` (string, required): Second capture ID (the "after")
