Category Design and Media
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 →

- 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
- No install/post-install scripts declared.Pass
- 32 of 95 dependencies flagged as unhealthy. View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency45
- Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL. View diagnostics → Pass
- Provenance check failed: no build-provenance attestation is published. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).Pass
- Actively maintained (last published 2 days ago).Pass
- Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository. See how to fix → Fail
Schema Quality & AI Usability72
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Tool/resource definitions use about 467 tokens (~93/item across 5 items; 5 tools + 0 resources), lean.Pass
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management10
- Stability observed for 3 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage95
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 86% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 5 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 5 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.

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 →
extract_palette Extract palette ~63
Pull the main colours out of an image (median cut). Returns hex codes plus a GIMP/Aseprite .gpl palette.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| colors | integer | – | How many colours to extract |
| input | string | yes | Path or URL of a PNG or JPEG image |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
list_palettes List built-in palettes ~20
List the built-in pixel art palettes and their colours.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
pixelate_image Image to pixel art ~202
Turn a photo or illustration into pixel art: shrink it to a pixel grid, reduce it to a few colours (or a named palette) and save a PNG. Accepts a local PNG/JPEG path or an http(s) URL.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| colors | integer | – | Number of colours when no palette is given |
| input | string | yes | Path or URL of a PNG or JPEG image |

| palette | string | – | Palette name (pico-8, sweetie-16, endesga-32, game-boy, 1-bit) or hex colours like "#1a1c2c,#5d275d" |
| scale | integer | – | Upscale factor for the saved PNG, nearest neighbour (e.g. 8 for a crisp preview) |
| width | integer | – | Width of the pixel grid in pixels (height keeps the aspect ratio) |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
remap_palette Recolour to a palette ~119
Recolour an existing pixel art image so every pixel uses a colour from the given palette (e.g. PICO-8 or Game Boy). Size is kept.
