## 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 (97 of 98), 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 (97 of 98), 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).

  - Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 59/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1346 tokens (~336/item across 4 items; 4 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**: 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.

## Changelog

Every change recorded for this component, newest first. Days that predate change tracking, or that we cannot explain, say so: "we were watching and nothing happened" and "we were not watching" are different claims.

### 2026-08-03 (score 66, +1)

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 23 to 27. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 7 days of observed history at the previous scan, 8 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

## MCP tools (4)

### `scan_code_imports` (~285 tokens)

Scan a block of JS/TS source code for HALLUCINATED / slopsquatted npm imports BEFORE you install anything or commit. Extracts every npm package the code imports/requires and checks each against the live npm registry: flags packages that DO NOT EXIST (AI hallucinations — the #1 slopsquatting attack vector in 2026, where attackers register the plausible fake name to ship malware) and packages that exist but look freshly-squatted (brand-new, no repo, near-typo of a popular lib, near-zero usage). Returns a CLEAN / REVIEW / BLOCK verdict with a 'did you mean' suggestion for each bad import. ALWAYS run this on code you (an AI) just generated before running its install command. The free tier handles a code fragment (≤2,000 chars AND ≤5 distinct imported packages); a whole file / repo dump, more than 5 packages, or pro=true routes to the premium unlimited scan (requires IMPORT_GUARDIAN_KEY).

Input parameters:

- `code` (string, required): The JS/TS source code to scan (the code an AI agent just generated).
- `pro` (boolean): Force the PREMIUM unlimited/batch scan (runs server-side behind payment). Auto-enabled when the code exceeds the free fragment cap. Requires IMPORT_GUARDIAN_KEY; without one you'll get instructions t…

### `check_packages` (~149 tokens)

Check an explicit list of npm package names for hallucination / slopsquatting (e.g. a dependency list you are about to install). Returns CLEAN / REVIEW / BLOCK per package with a 'did you mean' for fakes. The free tier verifies a small handful (≤5 names); a full dependency manifest or pro=true routes to the premium unlimited batch verify (requires IMPORT_GUARDIAN_KEY).

Input parameters:

- `names` (array, required): npm package names to verify.
- `pro` (boolean): Force the PREMIUM unlimited batch verify (runs server-side behind payment). Auto-enabled when the list exceeds the free cap. Requires IMPORT_GUARDIAN_KEY; without one you'll get instructions to unloc…

### `verify_package` (~84 tokens)

Verify a single npm package name exists and is not a slopsquat: registry existence, age, version history, repo, weekly downloads, and edit-distance to popular packages. Use right before adding a dependency you are not 100% sure is real. Always free.

Input parameters:

- `name` (string, required): The npm package name, e.g. 'lodash' or '@scope/pkg'.

### `audit_lockfile` (~828 tokens)

DEEP supply-chain audit of a RESOLVED lockfile — the premium product. Works across NINE ecosystems: npm (package-lock.json v1/v2/v3, yarn.lock classic/berry, pnpm-lock.yaml), Python/PyPI (requirements.txt, poetry.lock, Pipfile.lock), Go (go.mod, go.sum), Rust/Cargo (Cargo.lock, Cargo.toml), Java (Maven pom.xml, Gradle build.gradle/.kts + gradle.lockfile), PHP/Composer (composer.json, composer.lock), Ruby/RubyGems (Gemfile.lock, Gemfile), and .NET/NuGet (packages.lock.json, .csproj/Directory.Packages.props). It resolves the dependency graph and cross-checks each name against that ecosystem's LIVE public index (npm registry, PyPI, the Go module proxy, crates.io, Maven Central, Packagist, rubygems.org, nuget.org), auditing for: (1) DEPENDENCY CONFUSION — internal/private package names unclaimed on the public registry that an attacker can shadow (the highest-impact supply-chain attack), INCLUDING npm SCOPE-SHADOWING (a private @org/pkg whose whole @org scope is unclaimed), Maven groupId confusion, Composer vendor/package confusion, RubyGems private-source gem confusion, and NuGet feed confusion (the ORIGINAL Birsan 2021 vector — an internal package ID not reserved on nuget.org while a private feed is restored alongside it); (2) transitive TYPOSQUATS and homoglyph/Unicode-confusable clones (Damerau-Levenshtein + confusable folding, per-registry canonicalization incl. crates.io -/_ equivalence, Maven/Composer coordinate typos, RubyGems gem typos incl. the rest-client/rest_client class, and NuGet dotted-ID typos); (3) nonexistent pinned packages; (4) MAINTAINER-TAKEOVER fingerprints (dormant package republished, version burst, Packagist-ABANDONED packages, the RubyGems rest-client-hijack pattern); (5) INSTALL-SCRIPT VERSION-DIFFING — a package whose newest release ADDED a preinstall/postinstall/install/prepare hook the previous release did NOT have (the exact injection shape of event-stream / ua-parser-js); (6) INSTALL-SCRIPT PAYLOAD ANALYSIS — downloads the package tarba…

Input parameters:

- `filename` (string): Optional filename so the ecosystem is detected reliably (e.g. 'pnpm-lock.yaml', 'Cargo.lock', 'go.sum', 'Gemfile.lock', 'packages.lock.json', 'App.csproj'). Defaults to package-lock.json.
- `lockfile` (string, required): The full contents of the lockfile to audit (package-lock.json / yarn.lock / pnpm-lock.yaml / requirements.txt / poetry.lock / Pipfile.lock / go.mod / go.sum / Cargo.lock / Cargo.toml / pom.xml / comp…
