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 Security81
  • No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
  • CVE check failed: a known high-severity CVE affects zod 3.25.76, a direct dependency. A fixed version is available. View diagnostics → Fail

  • Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management43
  • Stability observed for 13 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage100
  • 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
  • 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
Tool Safety100
  • No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
  • We read all 3 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
  • An AI judge read all 3 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass

MCP tools · 3 exposed · ~483 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 →

Tool Tokens
check_history ~146

Analyze a package's registry publish history for the staged worm pattern (a 0.0.0-stage stub, a decoy release, then a rapid regressed patch holding dist-tags.latest), plus publisher and maintainer changes, repository slug changes, and provenance drops between consecutive versions. The registry defaults to npm; with registry pypi it reads PyPI history instead (the same timeline checks, plus yanked-version findings, since PyPI publishes no per-version publisher data). Registry metadata only; no tarballs are downloaded.

NameTypeReqDescription
namestringyesPackage name, for example lodash or @scope/name
registrystring–Registry to read history from (default npm)

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

check_package ~140

Grade a single package name (and optional version): typosquat distance against a bundled popular-names list and version pattern checks offline; with online true, registry checks for version age under 7 days, publisher change versus the previous version, provenance attestation, and deprecation.

NameTypeReqDescription
contentboolean–Also run content mode against the greatest lower published version (default false)
namestringyesPackage name, for example lodash or @scope/name
onlineboolean–Also run npm registry checks (default false)
versionstring–Version to check (default: offline name checks only, or the registry latest when online)

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

guard_path ~197

Diff a repo's dependency manifests and lockfiles against a base (git ref or directory) and grade every added, removed, and changed dependency: install scripts, typosquat-shaped names, downgrades, prerelease jumps, widened ranges, and lockfile drift. Fully offline unless online is true, which adds npm registry checks (version age, publisher change, provenance, deprecation).

NameTypeReqDescription
basestring–Git ref to diff against (for example HEAD~1 or a tag)
base_pathstring–Directory holding the base manifest set to diff against
contentboolean–Also run content mode: fetch both versions' tarballs and diff the install-time surface statically, nothing installed or executed (default false)
onlineboolean–Also run npm registry checks (default false; the base verdict never needs the network)
pathstringyesLocal path of the repo or directory to check

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.
