## Trust breakdown

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. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-10-18.

- **Supply Chain Security**: 100/100
  - No malware found by supply-chain analysis.
  - No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.
  - No install/post-install scripts declared.
  - No production dependencies, so there is no dependency health to assess.
- **Provenance & Transparency**: 100/100
  - Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL.
  - Cryptographically verified build provenance (signed, bound to itzhouq/grafana-mcp).
  - Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).
  - Actively maintained (last published 10 days ago).
  - Publishes a security disclosure policy (SECURITY.md).
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 0/100
  - Schema quality not yet verified: our sandbox could not run this package, so we have no schema to assess.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 0/100
  - Stability not yet verified: our sandbox could not run this package, so we have no schema to compare.
- **Tool Coverage**: 0/100
  - Tool coverage not yet verified: our sandbox could not run this package, so we have no tool definitions to assess.
- **Tool Safety**: 0/100
  - Tool safety not yet verified: our sandbox could not run this package, so we have no tool text to scan.
- **Capabilities**: 0/100
  - Protocol version not yet verified: our sandbox could not run this package, so we never saw its MCP handshake.

**Unverified: 5 categories.** Categories scored 0 because our sandbox could not run this package, so we have no schema for these checks to read. That is a gap on our side rather than a finding about the package, and we only credit what we can confirm, so the score stands at 0 until we can run it.
