## 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 2026-10-18.

- **Supply Chain Security**: 50/100
  - No malware found by supply-chain analysis.
  - Known CVEs could not be checked: we could not find this package in its registry.
  - Install-script risk not yet assessed.
  - Dependency health could not be checked: we could not find this package in its registry.
- **Provenance & Transparency**: 0/100
  - Repository check failed: the declared repository URL returned HTTP 404.
  - Provenance check failed: the registry has no such package, so there's no artefact to verify.
  - License check failed: the registry has no such package, so no license can be read.
  - Maintenance check failed: the registry has no such package, so there's no release history to read.
  - Security-disclosure policy not yet verified: we couldn't inspect the source repository.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 0/100
  - Schema quality not yet verified: our sandbox could not run this package, so we have no schema to assess.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 0/100
  - Stability not yet verified: our sandbox could not run this package, so we have no schema to compare.
- **Tool Coverage**: 0/100
  - Tool coverage not yet verified: our sandbox could not run this package, so we have no tool definitions to assess.
- **Tool Safety**: 0/100
  - Tool safety not yet verified: our sandbox could not run this package, so we have no tool text to scan.
- **Capabilities**: 0/100
  - Protocol version not yet verified: our sandbox could not run this package, so we never saw its MCP handshake.

**Unverified: 5 categories.** Categories scored 0 because our sandbox could not run this package, so we have no schema for these checks to read. That is a gap on our side rather than a finding about the package, and we only credit what we can confirm, so the score stands at 0 until we can run it.

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (0)

Tools for package channels are captured by running the package in an isolated sandbox. Our sandbox could not run this package, so no tool list has been captured. That is a gap on our side, not a finding about the package.
