## 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**: 81/100
  - No malware found by supply-chain analysis.
  - CVE check failed: a known high-severity CVE affects zod 3.25.76, a direct dependency. A fixed version is available.
  - No install/post-install scripts declared.
  - 30 of 101 dependencies flagged as unhealthy.
- **Provenance & Transparency**: 19/100
  - Repository check failed: the declared repository URL returned HTTP 404.
  - Provenance check failed: no build-provenance attestation is published.
  - Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).
  - Actively maintained (last published 9 days ago).
  - Security-disclosure policy not yet verified: we couldn't inspect the source repository.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 72/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - 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.
  - 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 3 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 4 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.

### 2026-10-27 (score 59, +15)

- [security improvement] Malware scan: unverified → pass

### 2026-10-26 (score 44)

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (3)

### `library_add` (~104 tokens)

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.

Input parameters:

- `id` (string, required): 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).

### `library_status` (~74 tokens)

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.

Input parameters:

- `id` (string, required): Paper ID as "type:value", e.g. "pmid:30955454"; bare digits count as pmid.

### `get_version` (~37 tokens)

Get the running ai4l-library MCP server's package name and version, and the resolved library directory. Useful to confirm which build is loaded.

## Common questions

### What is the AI4L Library MCP server?

AI4L Library is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.forever-healthy/ai4l-library. Local Markdown library of the papers an evidence review cites: metadata, abstract and full text. This page covers its npm package (ai4l-library).

### Is the AI4L Library MCP server safe to use?

AI4L Library scores 59 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We recorded 1 known advisory against it as of 5 November 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

### What tools does the AI4L Library MCP server expose?

AI4L Library exposes 3 tools: library_add, library_status, get_version. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 215 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the AI4L Library MCP server still maintained?

AI4L Library is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 5 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

### What licence is the AI4L Library MCP server under?

AI4L Library declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.

### What did VerifyMCP test on the AI4L Library MCP server?

VerifyMCP ran 14 checks on AI4L Library, covering Malware scan, Known CVEs, Install scripts, Dependency health and 10 more. 2 items could not be completed, a gap on our side rather than a finding about AI4L Library: Security disclosure and Stability. One category scores 0 for that reason, because we only credit what we can confirm. Endpoint Security and Transport & Reachability do not apply to an npm package, so they were not tested. The score does not measure everything, and the scoring documentation lists what it leaves out.
