## 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 2026-08-03.

- **Supply Chain Security**: 87/100
  - No malware found by supply-chain analysis.
  - Only part of the dependency tree could be resolved (100 of 104), so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree.
  - No install/post-install scripts declared.
  - Only part of the dependency tree could be resolved (100 of 104), so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree.
- **Provenance & Transparency**: 71/100
  - Repository check failed: the declared repository URL redirects; it must resolve directly.
  - Cryptographically verified build provenance (signed, bound to DanMat/create-packkit).
  - Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).
  - Actively maintained (last published 7 days ago).
  - Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 72/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 496 tokens (~165/item across 3 items; 3 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 27/100
  - Stability observed for 8 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 100/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 100% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

## MCP tools (3)

### `packkit_schema` (~82 tokens)

START HERE. Returns every Packkit option, preset, and shortcut alias as JSON. Call this before scaffolding so you pick a preset that matches what the user actually wants — presets range from single libraries to CLIs, HTTP services, SPAs, and full-stack monorepos, and guessing without reading them is the main cause of scaffolding the wrong shape.

### `packkit_preview` (~140 tokens)

Show the project structure a config would produce — the full file tree and stack summary — without writing anything. Use this to check the layout before committing to it, and to show the user what they are about to get. Cheap and side-effect free, so prefer it over scaffolding to a throwaway directory to see what happens.

Input parameters:

- `name` (string, required): Package name
- `options` (object): Any options from packkit_schema (e.g. { "framework": "vue", "target": ["library"] })
- `preset` (string): A preset or alias (e.g. ts-lib, react-lib, node-service, rlib)

### `packkit_scaffold` (~274 tokens)

Generate a project to disk. Writes files under <directory>/<name> (or ./<name>), optionally runs git init, installs dependencies, and creates the GitHub repository. Call packkit_schema first if you have not already — picking the preset by guess is how projects end up the wrong shape. If the target directory already has files in it (an existing clone, for instance), pass merge: true rather than failing.

Input parameters:

- `directory` (string): Parent directory to create the project in (default: current working directory)
- `git` (boolean): git init + initial commit (default false)
- `github` (boolean): Create the repository on GitHub and push to it, using the `gh` CLI. Requires git. Private unless "public" is set.
- `install` (boolean): Install dependencies (default false)
- `merge` (boolean): Scaffold into a non-empty directory. Existing files are never overwritten — colliding ones are skipped and reported. Use this when the target is an already-cloned repo.
- `name` (string, required): Package name (also the folder name)
- `options` (object): Any options from packkit_schema
- `preset` (string): A preset or alias
- `public` (boolean): When creating the repository, make it public (default: private)
