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 (97 of 101), 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 (97 of 101), so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree. View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency45
Schema Quality & AI Usability69
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 508 tokens (~127/item across 4 items; 4 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 Coverage94
  • 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
  • 82% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
Capabilities100
  • Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass

MCP tools — 4 exposed · ~508 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.

Tool Tokens
grok_challenge ~108

Ask Grok to adversarially break a piece of code: edge cases, race conditions, security holes, adversarial inputs. Returns severity-ranked issues with reproductions.

NameTypeReqDescription
codestringyesThe code or design to attack.
contextstringOptional context: language, framework, intended behaviour, constraints.
modelstring
timeoutnumberPer-call timeout in seconds. Defaults to 300. Raise for long grok-4 reasoning.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

grok_chat ~96

Send a one-shot prompt to xAI Grok and return its reply. Stateless — for multi-turn use grok_consult.

NameTypeReqDescription
modelstringOverride default Grok model (e.g. 'grok-4').
promptstringyesThe prompt to send to Grok.
timeoutnumberPer-call timeout in seconds. Defaults to 300. Raise for long grok-4 reasoning.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

grok_consult ~86

Continue a conversation with Grok by replaying the full message history each call. Stateless on the server side — the caller owns the thread.

NameTypeReqDescription
messagesarrayyesConversation history. Caller maintains state across turns.
modelstring
timeoutnumberPer-call timeout in seconds. Defaults to 300. Raise for long grok-4 reasoning.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

grok_review ~218

Have Grok review a git diff. If no diff is provided, runs `git diff <base_ref>...HEAD` (default base: main). Returns a per-dimension review. Use format='json' for CI gating (verdict + scores + blockers).

NameTypeReqDescription
base_refstringGit ref to diff against when diff is not provided. Defaults to 'main'.
cwdstringWorking directory for git diff. Defaults to process cwd.
diffstringUnified diff to review. If omitted, runs `git diff <base_ref>`.
focusstringOptional focus area (e.g. 'security', 'performance', 'API design').
formatstringOutput format. 'markdown' (default) returns a human-readable review. 'json' returns a machine-parseable verdict suitable for CI gating.
modelstring
timeoutnumberPer-call timeout in seconds. Defaults to 300. Raise for long grok-4 reasoning.

No output schema declared.
