## 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)

Scored 2026-11-05.

- **Supply Chain Security**: 32/100
  - Malware scan not yet available for this package.
  - CVE check failed: a known high-severity CVE affects cryptography 48.0.1, a direct dependency. A fixed version is available.
  - Runs hatchling.build at install time, a recognised build step with no custom scripting around it.
  - Dependency health was assessed across the 128 of 129 dependencies we could resolve, so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree.
- **Provenance & Transparency**: 45/100
  - Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL.
  - Provenance check failed: no build-provenance attestation is published.
  - Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).
  - Actively maintained (last published 10 days ago).
  - Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 0/100
  - Schema quality not yet verified: our sandbox could not run this package, so we have no schema to assess.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 0/100
  - Stability not yet verified: our sandbox could not run this package, so we have no schema to compare.
- **Tool Coverage**: 0/100
  - Tool coverage not yet verified: our sandbox could not run this package, so we have no tool definitions to assess.
- **Tool Safety**: 0/100
  - Tool safety not yet verified: our sandbox could not run this package, so we have no tool text to scan.
- **Capabilities**: 0/100
  - Protocol version not yet verified: our sandbox could not run this package, so we never saw its MCP handshake.

**Unverified: 5 categories.** Categories scored 0 because our sandbox could not run this package, so we have no schema for these checks to read. That is a gap on our side rather than a finding about the package, and we only credit what we can confirm, so the score stands at 0 until we can run it.
