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 Security98
- No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
- No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.Pass
- No install/post-install scripts declared.Pass
- 30 of 93 dependencies flagged as unhealthy. View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency45
- Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL. View diagnostics → Pass
- Build provenance is cryptographically sound, but it attests a different repository to the one declared in the registry. Most often the declared URL is simply stale. View diagnostics → Unverified
- Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).Pass
- Actively maintained (last published 3 days ago).Pass
- Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository. See how to fix → Fail
Schema Quality & AI Usability69
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1476 tokens (~147/item across 10 items; 10 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 Management17
- Stability observed for 5 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
- All 1 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 11 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass
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.

No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 10 to 13. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 3 days of observed history at the previous scan, 4 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

Provenance Repository mismatch
The attestation is cryptographically sound but binds a different repository to the one the registry declares. Most often the declared URL is simply stale.

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 →
create_card Create GitHub card ~203
Create (or reuse) a published card image for a GitHub profile or repository. Returns svg/png URLs and markdown/html embed snippets. Idempotent; counts once against the daily quota.

| palette | string | – | background palette id from list_palettes; omit for the template's own background. For any other colour use design |
| subject | string | yes | GitHub username (e.g. octocat) or owner/repo (e.g. octocat/hello-world) |

validate_card Check a card request ~216
Dry run of create_card with the same inputs: checks template/palette ids, Pro features and the design document, without creating anything or using quota. warnings lists layers that reach outside the artboard (they would be clipped); fix those before create_card.
