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 Security50
- Malware scan not yet available for this package.Unverified
- No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.Pass
- Runs setuptools.build_meta at install time, a recognised native-build step with no shell scripting around it. View diagnostics → Pass
- 1 of 31 dependencies flagged as unhealthy. View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency6
- Repository check failed: no source repository is declared. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- Provenance check failed: no build-provenance attestation is published. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- License check failed: no license is declared. See how to fix → Fail
- Actively maintained (last published 0 days ago).Pass
- Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository. See how to fix → Fail
Schema Quality & AI Usability61
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 271 tokens (~271/item across 1 items; 1 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 check failed: the tool surface changed between 0.1.2 and 0.2.0: 0 tool removals, 1 breaking changes, 0 additions. See how to fix → Fail
Tool Coverage67
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 0% of tool parameters carry a description.Fail
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 1 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 1 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a current MCP spec version (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 →
read ~271
Read a spreadsheet as text, every sheet at once. Excel, ODS, CSV, SQLite, Parquet and Arrow files. With a path alone, return a map of the file: its sheets, how many records each holds, the columns of each, where each sheet's lines are, and what the conversion left behind. Add an address to return that part of the file instead. The reply is tab-separated text: a tab between fields, a line break between records, and a form feed before each sheet's name. path -- the absolute path of the file to read sheet -- which sheets, as 2, 1;3 or 1-3, counting from 1 rows -- which records of each sheet, written the same way fields -- which fields of each record, written the same way The path must be absolute. A file that cannot be read, an extension this server has no format for, and an address the file does not have are each refused rather than guessed. A copy of the file is kept as MTSV under the cache directory, and the map names where, so it can be read directly afterwards.
