  - No malware found by supply-chain analysis.
  - CVE check failed: a known high-severity CVE affects tar-fs 2.1.1, reached via downdetector-api > puppeteer > puppeteer-core > tar-fs. A fixed version is available.

  - Tool/resource definitions use about 103 tokens (~103/item across 1 items; 1 tools + 0 resources), lean.
  - 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
