## 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)

Scored 2026-09-26.

- **Supply Chain Security**: 100/100
  - No malware found by supply-chain analysis.
  - No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.
  - No install/post-install scripts declared.
  - No production dependencies, so there is no dependency health to assess.
- **Provenance & Transparency**: 45/100
  - Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL.
  - Provenance check failed: no build-provenance attestation is published.
  - Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).
  - Actively maintained (last published 2 days ago).
  - Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 0/100
  - Schema quality not yet verified: our sandbox run could not list this package's tools (it declared tools, or its tool listing failed outright), so the captured schema is incomplete.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 0/100
  - Stability not yet verified: one of the two schema captures we compare could not list the server's tools (the server declared tools, or its tool listing failed outright). Comparing them would report every tool as removed, or find nothing to compare at all.
- **Tool Coverage**: 0/100
  - Tool coverage not yet verified: our sandbox run could not list this package's tools (it declared tools, or its tool listing failed outright).
- **Tool Safety**: 0/100
  - Tool safety not yet verified: our sandbox run could not list this package's tools (it declared tools, or its tool listing failed outright).
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

**Unverified: 4 categories.** Categories scored 0 because we could not verify them: 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.
