Trust breakdown (7 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 → Why this is hard to score →

Supply Chain Security100
  • No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
  • No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.Pass
  • Runs hatchling.build at install time, a recognised native-build step with no shell scripting around it. View diagnostics → Pass
  • 1 of 27 dependencies flagged as unhealthy. View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency32
Schema Quality & AI Usability74
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 420 tokens (~140/item across 3 items; 3 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 Management87
  • Stability observed for 26 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage96
  • 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
  • 86% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
  • Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass
Tool Safety75
  • No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
  • 0 of 1 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation; "run_query" implies "execute" and declares no destructiveHint at all, which the MCP spec reads as destructive by default. See how to fix → Fail
  • An AI judge read all 4 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
  • Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).Pass

MCP tools · 3 exposed · ~356 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. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

run_query ~136

Execute SQL queries in ClickHouse. Queries run in read-only mode by default. Set CLICKHOUSE_ALLOW_WRITE_ACCESS=true to allow DDL and DML operations. Set CLICKHOUSE_ALLOW_DROP=true to additionally allow destructive operations (DROP, TRUNCATE, DELETE, UPDATE, REPLACE TABLE/PARTITION, CREATE OR REPLACE, CLEAR COLUMN/INDEX/PROJECTION, DETACH PERMANENTLY). That gate is a best-effort accident guard, not a security boundary. Integers outside [-9007199254740991, 9007199254740991] are returned as decimal strings.
