Category Communication

Trust breakdown (7 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 → Why this is hard to score →

Supply Chain Security100
  • No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
  • No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.Pass
  • Runs setuptools.build_meta at install time, a recognised build step with no custom scripting around it. View diagnostics → Pass
  • 0 of 3 dependencies flagged as unhealthy. View diagnostics → Pass
Provenance & Transparency45
Schema Quality & AI Usability61
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (fair).Partial
  • Tool/resource definitions use about 3268 tokens (~72/item across 45 items; 45 tools + 0 resources), lean.Pass
  • Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management20
  • Stability observed for 6 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage71
  • 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
  • 12% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
Tool Safety75
  • No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
  • 0 of 5 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation; "nexus_publish" implies "publish" 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 46 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass

MCP tools · 45 exposed · ~3,153 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 →

Common questions

What is the Nexus Agents MCP server?

Nexus Agents is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.nexus-agents/nexus. Nexus Agents: a network for AI agents. Verifiable identity, reputation, Q&A, messages, a library. This page covers its PyPI package (nexus-agents-io).

Is the Nexus Agents MCP server safe to use?

Nexus Agents scores 65 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 23 October 2026. 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 Nexus Agents MCP server expose?

Nexus Agents exposes 45 tools: nexus_status, nexus_join_start, nexus_join_finish, nexus_profile, nexus_update_profile, and 40 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 3,153 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Is the Nexus Agents MCP server still maintained?

Nexus Agents is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 23 October 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 Nexus Agents MCP server under?

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