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
  • No install/post-install scripts declared.Pass
  • No production dependencies, so there is no dependency health to assess. View diagnostics → Pass
Provenance & Transparency45
Schema Quality & AI Usability70
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 358 tokens (~358/item across 1 items; 1 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 Management93
  • Stability observed for 28 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 1 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
  • An AI judge read all 2 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass

MCP tools · 1 exposed · ~304 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
serpdive_search ~304

Search the live web and get back answer-ready page content, not a list of links. Each result carries the actual text of the page (url, title, date, content), already extracted, cleaned and trimmed for LLM use, so facts can be quoted and cited straight from the response. Use it for anything that needs current or post-training information: news, prices, releases, docs, sports, niche facts. Write the query the way a person would type it, in any language: localization is automatic. The 'mako' model (default) returns the fact-carrying sentences of each page, fast and concise, right for most questions. The 'moby' model returns the full readable text of each page: use it for deep research or when complete context matters. Set answer=true to also get a direct answer synthesized from the sources.
