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 Security81
- No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
- CVE check failed: a known high-severity CVE affects zod 3.25.76, a direct dependency. A fixed version is available. View diagnostics → Fail
- No install/post-install scripts declared.Pass
- 30 of 101 dependencies flagged as unhealthy. View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency19
- Repository check failed: the declared repository URL returned HTTP 404. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- Provenance check failed: no build-provenance attestation is published. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).Pass
- Actively maintained (last published 9 days ago).Pass
- Security-disclosure policy not yet verified: we couldn't inspect the source repository.Unverified
Schema Quality & AI Usability72
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 511 tokens (~170/item across 3 items; 3 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 not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).Unverified
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
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 3 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 4 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass
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.

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 →
get_version ~37
Get the running ai4l-library MCP server's package name and version, and the resolved library directory. Useful to confirm which build is loaded.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
library_add ~104
Build the library entry for one paper ID and return its status JSON. v0.1: pmid: only, pubmed tier only (level abstract). Idempotent — an existing entry is returned without refetching.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| id | string | yes | Paper ID as "type:value", e.g. "pmid:30955454"; bare digits count as pmid. |
| url | string | – | A download location obtained elsewhere (ignored in v0.1). |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
library_status ~74
Read-only status of the library entry for one paper ID: the same status JSON as library_add, or level "missing" when there is no entry. Never fetches.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| id | string | yes | Paper ID as "type:value", e.g. "pmid:30955454"; bare digits count as pmid. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
