## 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)

- **Supply Chain Security**: 98/100
  - No malware found by supply-chain analysis.
  - No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.
  - No install/post-install scripts declared.
  - 31 of 92 dependencies flagged as unhealthy.
- **Provenance & Transparency**: 45/100
  - Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL.

  - Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 81/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 343 tokens (~57/item across 6 items; 6 tools + 0 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 0/100
  - Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).
- **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.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 6 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 6 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

**Unverified: 1 category.** A category scored 0 because we could not verify it: a data source with nothing on this package, evidence we could not reach, or a check we could not run. We only credit what we can confirm.

## Changelog

Every change recorded for this component, newest first. Days that predate change tracking, or that we cannot explain, say so: "we were watching and nothing happened" and "we were not watching" are different claims.

### 2026-10-01 (score 71)

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (6)

### `net_github_status` (~36 tokens)

Check whether github.com is reachable right now: DNS resolution, TCP 443, and the HTTPS status code with round-trip time.

### `net_proxy_status` (~51 tokens)

Show the Windows system proxy configuration (registry) and proxy environment variables. Distinguishes "system proxy" from "TUN mode" from "no proxy", and flags a disabled-but-leftover registry value.

### `net_proxy_probe` (~89 tokens)

Probe local proxy ports for TCP reachability. Defaults to the common ports (10808, 10809, 7890, 7897, 8888, 1080); pass `ports` to override.

Input parameters:

- `ports` (array): Ports to probe (default 10808, 10809, 7890, 7897, 8888, 1080)

### `net_diag` (~74 tokens)

Full reachability diagnosis for any host: DNS resolution, TCP connect test, then an HTTP(S) status check.

Input parameters:

- `host` (string, required): Hostname or IP address
- `path` (string): URL path for the HTTP check (default /)
- `port` (integer): TCP port to test (default 443)

### `net_hosts_check` (~37 tokens)

Scan the Windows hosts file for GitHub-related entries. Pinned entries bypass a proxy and can go stale — this lists what is pinned.

### `net_doctor` (~56 tokens)

Run the full network preflight (system proxy, proxy ports, TUN adapters, GitHub reachability, hosts conflicts) and report each finding with concrete suggestions about what to change. Use this before blaming the network for a failure.

### What tools does the io.github.Edge-Echo/mcp-netassist server expose?

io.github.Edge-Echo/mcp-netassist exposes 6 tools: net_github_status, net_proxy_status, net_proxy_probe, net_diag, net_hosts_check, net_doctor. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 343 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the io.github.Edge-Echo/mcp-netassist server still maintained?

io.github.Edge-Echo/mcp-netassist is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 4 October 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
