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 Security86
  • No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
  • Only part of the dependency tree could be resolved (94 of 98), so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree.Partial
  • No install/post-install scripts declared.Pass

Provenance & Transparency32
Schema Quality & AI Usability77
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
  • Tool/resource definitions use about 1648 tokens (~96/item across 17 items; 17 tools + 0 resources), lean.Pass
  • Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management27
  • Stability observed for 8 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
Capabilities100
  • Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass

Changelog

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.

  • 3 Aug 26 +1

    No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 23 to 27. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 7 days of observed history at the previous scan, 8 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

Diagnostics

Diagnostic detail from the automated scan of this channel: what the scanner observed at each step, so you can see exactly where a check passed or failed. It is informational only and never changes the trust score.

94 packages in the resolved dependency tree · 94 deprecated · 29 stale.

The dependency tree was only partially resolved, so these counts may be incomplete.

MCP tools — 17 exposed · ~1,648 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.

Tool Tokens
crosspad_apps ~40

List all registered CrossPad apps (found via REGISTER_APP macro or _register_*_app functions).

NameTypeReqDescription
platformstringWhich platform to scan

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

crosspad_build ~64

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

crosspad_build_check ~51

Quick health check: is the build up to date? Detects stale exe, new source files needing reconfigure, submodule drift, dirty working trees. Use before build to know what mode to use.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

crosspad_diff_core ~66

Show what changed in crosspad-core and/or crosspad-gui relative to the pinned submodule commit. Shows commits ahead/behind, changed files, uncommitted changes. Essential for dev-mode workflows.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

crosspad_input ~270

Send input events to the running CrossPad simulator. Requires simulator to be running. Actions: click {x, y} — mouse click at window coordinates (490x680 window) pad_press {pad, vel} — press pad 0-15 with velocity 0-127 pad_release {pad} — release pad 0-15 encoder_rotate {delta} — rotate encoder (positive=CW, negative=CCW) encoder_press — press encoder button encoder_release — release encoder button key {keycode} — SDL keycode (e.g. 13=Enter, 27=Escape) LCD area is centered at roughly x=85..405, y=20..260 within the 490x680 window.

NameTypeReqDescription

NameTypeReqDescription
querystringyes"list", "implementations <InterfaceName>", or "capabilities"

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

Launch CrossPad.exe, capture stdout/stderr for a few seconds, then kill it. Great for checking init sequence, crash messages, or runtime errors without leaving the process running.

NameTypeReqDescription
