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 Security98
  • No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
  • No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.Pass
  • No install/post-install scripts declared.Pass
  • 52 of 131 dependencies flagged as unhealthy. View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency45
Schema Quality & AI Usability80
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
  • Tool/resource definitions use about 567 tokens (~70/item across 8 items; 8 tools + 0 resources), lean.Pass
  • Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management80
  • Stability observed for 24 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
Tool Safety75
  • No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
  • 0 of 2 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation; "aai:exec" implies "exec" and declares no destructiveHint at all, which the MCP spec reads as destructive by default. See how to fix → Fail
  • An AI judge read all 8 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

MCP tools · 8 exposed · ~567 tokens

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 →

Tool Tokens
aai:exec ~101

Execute any AAI tool action. Read the guide first (call app:*, mcp:import, skill:import, or search:discover) — it contains the required schema and parameters.

NameTypeReqDescription
appstringRequired for app tools, omit or use "gateway" for gateway tools.
argsobjectArguments for the selected tool.
toolstringyesTool name within the app, not prefixed with app id.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

disableApp ~64

Disable one app for the current agent only. If you do not know the app id, call listAllAaiApps first to find it.

NameTypeReqDescription
appstringyesRequired. The app id to disable. Use listAllAaiApps to look up available app ids.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

enableApp ~87

Enable or re-enable an app for the current agent. When the user asks to enable, start, turn on, or use a specific app by name, call listAllAaiApps first to check if it is already imported before searching for new tools.

NameTypeReqDescription
appstringyesRequired. The app id to re-enable. Use listAllAaiApps to look up available app ids.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

listAllAaiApps ~53

List imported apps (MCP servers and skills) for the current agent. This does not include built-in tools like search:discover, mcp:import, or skill:import — those are always available.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

mcp:import ~51

Import an MCP server as a new app. Call this first to get the import guide, then use aai:exec to perform the import. Never ask the user for API keys or secrets in chat.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

removeApp ~93

Remove one AAI Gateway managed import from all agents. If you do not know the app id, call listAllAaiApps first to find it.

NameTypeReqDescription
appstringyesRequired. The imported app id to remove globally. Use listAllAaiApps to look up available app ids.
confirmbooleanyesRequired. Must be true only after the agent explains the global impact and the user explicitly confirms.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

search:discover ~80

Find and install new tools. Call this when: 1. The user explicitly asks to search for or install tools. 2. The user's request cannot be fulfilled by any currently available tool — proactively suggest and search for a suitable tool. Before searching, check listAllAaiApps first — the user may already have the app imported (possibly disabled).

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

skill:import ~38

Import a local skill as a new app. Call this first to get the import guide, then use aai:exec to perform the import.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.
