## 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)

  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 0/100
  - Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).
- **Tool Coverage**: 100/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 100% of tool parameters carry a description.

  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - All 1 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation.
  - An AI judge read all 2 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

**Unverified: 1 category.** A category scored 0 because we could not verify it: a data source with nothing on this package, evidence we could not reach, or a check we could not run. We only credit what we can confirm.

Every change recorded for this component, newest first. Days that predate change tracking, or that we cannot explain, say so: "we were watching and nothing happened" and "we were not watching" are different claims.

### 2026-09-28 (score 63, 0)

- [functional] We updated how we score, so this day's move reflects our rubric, not a change to the server

### 2026-09-27 (score 63)

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (2)

### `clean_files` (~276 tokens)

Remove metadata from files

Removes hidden metadata (GPS location, camera or phone model, serial numbers, dates, author, software, AI-generation labels and credentials) from videos (MP4, MOV, M4V, 3GP, MKV, WebM), PDFs, camera RAW files (CR2, CR3, NEF, ARW, RAF, RW2, DNG) and photos (JPEG, PNG, WebP). Each file is sent to the AI Metadata Cleaner server, cleaned, and a clean copy is saved next to the original as "<name>-clean.<ext>". Originals are never changed. Video and audio are not re-encoded. Pass files or folders (a folder means the supported files directly inside it). Each file uses one job from the monthly allowance. At most 50 files per call.

Input parameters:

- `image_mode` (string): Photos only. "reencode" (default) rebuilds the image, the most thorough. "strip" removes metadata without touching the pixels.
- `keep_pdf_signature` (boolean): PDFs only. Keep a digital signature (it carries the signer and signing date). Default false: signatures are removed.
- `output_dir` (string): Folder to save clean copies in. Default: next to each original.
- `paths` (array, required): Absolute paths to files or folders. ~ is allowed.

### `check_usage` (~25 tokens)

Check monthly allowance

Shows how many cleaning jobs and how much data this month's plan has used and allows.
