Trust breakdown (6 categories)

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 →

Supply Chain Security87
  • No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
  • Only part of the dependency tree could be resolved (95 of 99), so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree.Partial
  • No install/post-install scripts declared.Pass
  • Only part of the dependency tree could be resolved (95 of 99), so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree. View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency45
Schema Quality & AI Usability42
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (poor).Fail
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 231 tokens (~231/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 Management27
  • Stability observed for 8 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
Capabilities100
  • Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass

self_inspect ~231

Self-Inspect. Express a thought, or describe the task you are working on, and you always get back ONE metathought: a short abstract question that makes you inspect your own task and assumptions before continuing. Use it whenever you want a self-check: after forming a hypothesis, before committing to an answer, when a long chain feels like it has drifted, when you notice you are agreeing to please, or when you are about to assert something from memory. There is no failure case: it always returns a metathought to question yourself with, selected by a transparent heuristic over an open CSV (no LLM). Keyless and free. DO NOT call for factual lookups or as a substitute for doing the task. Absorb the question and act on it; do not echo it verbatim to the user.
