Trust breakdown (6 categories)

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 →

Supply Chain Security0

Malware scan not yet available for this package.Unverified
Known CVEs could not be checked: this artifact ships no SBOM, so there is no dependency list to read. Publishing one would let us assess it.Unverified
Install-script risk not yet assessed.Unverified
Dependency health could not be checked: this artifact ships no SBOM, so there is no dependency list to read. Publishing one would let us assess it.Unverified

Provenance & Transparency48

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

Actively maintained (last published 0 days ago).Pass
Publishes a security disclosure policy (SECURITY.md).Pass

Schema Quality & AI Usability76

AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1034 tokens (~129/item across 8 items; 8 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 Management0

Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).Unverified

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
Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass

Capabilities100

Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).Pass
