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
- 31 of 92 dependencies flagged as unhealthy. View diagnostics → Partial

- Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository. See how to fix → Fail
Schema Quality & AI Usability73
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 267 tokens (~267/item across 1 items; 1 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 1 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 1 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 →
check_ai_visibility Check AI visibility ~267
Ask AI engines (ChatGPT via the OpenAI API, Perplexity, Gemini) buyer questions with live web search on, and report whether a business is named, its position in any list, whether its website is cited, which competitors are named instead, and the source domains each engine used. Engines without an API key in the server env are skipped. Each question costs a few cents per engine, billed by the provider. Pass 1 to 10 questions, or omit them and pass a category (for example "family dentist") plus a location to use 5 generic buyer questions.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| business_name | string | yes | The business to look for, e.g. "Sunshine Dental LLC" |
| category | string | – | What the business is, e.g. "family dentist". Required when questions are omitted. |
| engines | array | – | Subset of engines to run. Default: every engine with a key. |
| location | string | – | City or area, e.g. "Tampa, FL". Used when questions are generated. |
| questions | array | – | 1 to 10 questions a buyer would ask an AI assistant. |
| website | string | – | The business website, e.g. sunshinedental.com. Used to detect citations of its pages. |
