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 Security78
  • No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
  • CVE check failed: a known medium-severity CVE affects fast-xml-parser 4.5.7, a direct dependency. A fixed version is available. View diagnostics → Fail
  • No install/post-install scripts declared.Pass
  • Only part of the dependency tree could be resolved (97 of 101), so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree. View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency45
Schema Quality & AI Usability71
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 305 tokens (~152/item across 2 items; 2 tools + 0 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 Coverage89
  • 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
  • 67% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
Capabilities100
  • Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass

MCP tools — 2 exposed · ~305 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.

Tool Tokens
corroborate_claim ~205

Given a factual/news claim, returns how INDEPENDENTLY it is being reported. Use before relying on a current-event claim. Output: verdict (CONFIRMED = 2+ independent origins | SINGLE_SOURCE | UNCORROBORATED), count of independent story origins (wire/syndication echoes collapse to one), per-source evidence (outlet, domain, url, date), confidence 0-1, coverage flag, honest caveats. Measures REPORTING corroboration, not truth — no stance detection, so a distorted claim about a real event may still show coverage; verify specifics against the returned sources. Keyless, read-only, deterministic; if all sources are unreachable it errors rather than returning a false negative.

find_sources ~100

Multi-engine news/source search (Google News, GDELT, Hacker News) for a query: a deduped list of {outlet, domain, url, date}. Use when you want raw coverage to judge yourself, not a scored verdict — the cheaper primitive under corroborate_claim. Keyless, read-only.
