## 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 (98 of 102), 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 (98 of 102), 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 (Apache-2.0).
  - Actively maintained (last published 56 days ago).
  - Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 77/100
  - 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 802 tokens (~160/item across 5 items; 5 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - 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**: 67/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 0% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

## MCP tools (5)

### `oe_auth_status` (~77 tokens)

OpenEvidence Auth Status

Check whether the saved OpenEvidence browser session is authenticated. Use before history/article/ask tools when auth state is unknown. Returns authenticated=true/false and basic account metadata when available. Requires the local browser profile created by npm run login:session. No side effects. Can fail if the profile is missing, expired, or network access fails.

### `oe_history_list` (~115 tokens)

OpenEvidence History List

List prior OpenEvidence articles from the authenticated account. Use only when the user asks to inspect prior OpenEvidence work or needs an article_id. Inputs: limit, offset, optional search, optional include_raw=false. Returns a privacy-reduced list by default; include_raw=true may expose private prior questions and must be used only with explicit user intent. Requires authenticated session. No side effects.

Input parameters:

- `include_raw` (boolean)
- `limit` (integer)
- `offset` (integer)
- `search` (string)

### `oe_article_get` (~96 tokens)

OpenEvidence Article Get

Fetch an OpenEvidence article by article_id. Use after history lookup or oe_ask returns an article ID. Inputs: article_id UUID, optional include_raw=false. Returns normalized status, question, and answer fields by default. include_raw=true may expose private thread context and must be used only with explicit user intent. Requires authenticated session. No side effects.

Input parameters:

- `article_id` (string, required)
- `include_raw` (boolean)

### `oe_article_wait` (~127 tokens)

OpenEvidence Article Wait

Wait for an existing OpenEvidence article_id to finish, then return normalized fields. Use after oe_ask with wait_for_completion=false, especially for long research questions that may exceed MCP host timeouts. Inputs: article_id UUID, optional timeout_sec, poll_interval_ms, and include_raw=false. include_raw=true may expose private thread context and must be used only with explicit user intent. Requires authenticated session. No side effects.

Input parameters:

- `article_id` (string, required)
- `include_raw` (boolean)
- `poll_interval_ms` (integer)
- `timeout_sec` (integer)

### `oe_ask` (~170 tokens)

OpenEvidence Ask

Create an OpenEvidence research question, not medical advice or patient-specific diagnosis. For long questions, prefer wait_for_completion=false and then call oe_article_wait with the returned article_id. Use original_article_id only for true follow-up continuity; omit it for fresh questions. Returns privacy-reduced created article data and optionally normalized completed fields. Side effect: creates a question/article in the user's OpenEvidence account through the local browser profile.

Input parameters:

- `article_type` (string)
- `disable_caching` (boolean)
- `original_article_id` (string)
- `personalization_enabled` (boolean)
- `poll_interval_ms` (integer)
- `question` (string, required)
- `timeout_sec` (integer)
- `variant_configuration_file` (string)
- `wait_for_completion` (boolean)
