Trust breakdown (6 categories)

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. How we score →

Supply Chain Security87

No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
Only part of the dependency tree could be resolved (138 of 142), so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree.Partial
No install/post-install scripts declared.Pass
Only part of the dependency tree could be resolved (138 of 142), so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree. View diagnostics → Partial

Provenance & Transparency19

Repository check failed: the declared repository URL redirects; it must resolve directly. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Provenance check failed: no build-provenance attestation is published. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).Pass
Actively maintained (last published 10 days ago).Pass
Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository. See how to fix → Fail

Schema Quality & AI Usability42

0% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).Fail
AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 7005 tokens (~114/item across 61 items; 58 tools + 3 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail

Stability & Change Management27

Stability observed for 8 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial

Tool Coverage95

100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
84% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial

Capabilities60

Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2025-06-18; the latest is 2026-07-28. See how to fix → Fail

Changelog

Every change we have recorded for this component, newest first. Security-relevant changes are always shown. ▲ marks a change for the better, ▼ a change for the worse; unmarked changes are neutral.

3 Aug 26 +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.

The dependency tree was only partially resolved, so these counts may be incomplete.

MCP tools — 58 exposed · ~6,992 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability.
