Available components
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 Security98
- 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
- 31 of 96 dependencies flagged as unhealthy. View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency97
- Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL. View diagnostics → Pass
- Cryptographically verified build provenance (signed, bound to dataplat/dbatools-mcp-server). View diagnostics → Pass
- Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).Pass
- Actively maintained (last published 154 days ago).Pass
- Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository. See how to fix → Fail
Schema Quality & AI Usability78
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 530 tokens (~132/item across 4 items; 4 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 Safety75
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- 0 of 1 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation; "invoke_dbatools_command" implies "execute" and declares no destructiveHint at all, which the MCP spec reads as destructive by default. See how to fix → Fail
- An AI judge read all 4 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

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 →
check_dbatools_environment ~30
Verify that PowerShell and the dbatools module are installed and report the help-index status.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_dbatools_command_help ~54
Get the full normalized help for a specific dbatools command, including parameters and examples sourced from comment-based help.

invoke_dbatools_command ~322
Execute a dbatools command via PowerShell and return structured JSON output. SAFETY: For any destructive or change command (Remove, Drop, Disable, Reset, etc.), always explain the consequences to the user and ask for explicit confirmation before running. Only proceed with confirm:true if the user has clearly confirmed their intent. Respect DBATOOLS_SAFE_MODE: never bypass safety checks. For any command that modifies or deletes data, double-check with the user before proceeding. Show the exact command and output for transparency. Non-readonly commands require confirm:true when safe mode is enabled.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| commandName | string | yes | Exact dbatools command name to execute, e.g. Get-DbaDatabase |
| confirm | boolean | – | Set to true to allow execution of change/destructive commands (required when safeMode is on) |
| parameters | object | – | Key-value map of parameters. Strings, numbers, and booleans map directly to PowerShell parameters. For SQL authentication pass SqlCredential as an object: { "username": "sa", "password": "secret" }.… |
| selectProperties | array | – | List of property names to select from the output (e.g. ['Name', 'Status', 'SizeMB']). Use this to reduce output size for commands that return complex objects like SMO database or login objects. When… |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
list_dbatools_commands ~124
Search and list dbatools commands. Filter by verb, noun, keyword, or risk level.
