Changelog

Every change we have recorded for this component, newest first. Security-relevant changes are always shown. ▲ marks a change for the better, ▼ a change for the worse; unmarked changes are neutral.

  • 6 Aug 26 +1

    No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 7 to 10. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 2 days of observed history at the previous scan, 3 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

Tool Tokens
create_diagram ~5,077

Creates and displays an interactive draw.io diagram. Accepts either draw.io XML or Mermaid.js syntax — provide exactly one. **Format decision — this is the first thing to settle before you write anything:** if the diagram type appears on the Mermaid list below, use `mermaid`. Only use `xml` when the diagram type isn't on that list (UI mockups, floorplans, cloud/network/electrical architecture with stencils, hand-placed UML, etc.) or when the user has explicitly asked for draw.io XML. **Use Mermaid** for the following diagram types (all rendered natively, no upstream mermaid runtime): - flowchart / graph (TD, LR, …) - sequenceDiagram - classDiagram - stateDiagram / stateDiagram-v2 - erDiagram - gantt - pie - journey (user-journey) - gitGraph - mindmap - timeline - quadrantChart - xychart-beta - sankey-beta - requirementDiagram - C4Context / C4Container / C4Component - block-beta - architecture-beta - packet-beta - kanban - radar-beta - treemap-beta - treeview-beta (draw.io-specific) - venn (draw.io-specific) — syntax: `venn` then `set A ["Label"]` for each set, `union A,B` for declared overlaps (informational), and `text A` / `text A,B` followed by `["Region label"]` for text inside a region. Do NOT use `A AND B[...]` or `A["..."]` shorthand — those lines are ignored. - ishikawa (draw.io-specific) - zenuml **Strong default: use Mermaid for every diagram type on that list above.** Mermaid is simpler, more reliable, and the native Mermaid layout handles positioning and routing for you. For a flowchart, state diagram, sequence, ER, class, gantt, gitGraph, mindmap, etc. — reach for the `mermaid` parameter, not `xml`. Do not default to XML for flowcharts. **Use XML** when the diagram type isn't on the Mermaid list above OR when the user explicitly asks for XML / draw.io format. Typical cases where XML is the right choice: - **UI mockups / wireframes / screen designs** — buttons, form fields, sidebars, modal dialogs (…

search_shapes ~255

Search the draw.io shape library by keywords. Returns matching shapes with their exact style strings, dimensions, and titles. Covers ~10,000 built-in stencils (cloud architecture, network topology, P&ID, electrical, Cisco, Kubernetes, BPMN) and, when those are sparse, supplements results with the draw.io icon service (brand/product logos and general-purpose concept icons, e.g. 'react', 'slack', 'shopping cart', 'solar panel'). Use ONLY for diagrams that need industry-specific, branded, or pictorial icons. Do NOT use for standard diagram types like flowcharts, UML, ERD, org charts, or mind maps — these use basic geometric shapes (rectangles, diamonds, circles, cylinders) that are already covered in the XML reference. Also skip if the user asks to use basic/simple shapes or says not to search. The style string from the results can be used directly in mxCell style attributes.
