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 Security40
- Malware scan not yet available for this package.Unverified
- CVE check failed: a known medium-severity CVE affects fastmcp 3.4.2, a direct dependency. A fixed version is available. View diagnostics → Fail
- Runs setuptools.build_meta at install time, a recognised build step with no custom scripting around it. View diagnostics → Pass
- 1 of 21 dependencies flagged as unhealthy. View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency32
- Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL. View diagnostics → Pass
- Provenance check failed: no build-provenance attestation is published. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- Licence could not be checked: the licence is shipped as a file inside the package, not declared as a standard (SPDX) licence identifier, so we cannot tell whether it is OSI-approved.Unverified
- Actively maintained (last published 53 days ago).Pass
- Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository. See how to fix → Fail
Schema Quality & AI Usability66
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Tool/resource definitions use about 340 tokens (~56/item across 6 items; 6 tools + 0 resources), lean.Pass
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management100
- No destabilizing schema changes in the last 30 days.Pass
Tool Coverage71
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 0% of tool parameters carry a description.Fail
- Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 6 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 6 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

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 →
claim_lane ~83
Claim a coordination lane before starting work in it: claim-if-free, steal-if-lease-expired, renew-if-you-already-own-it. A 409 (lane held live by another owner) comes back as a clean ok=False conflict, not a crash.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| lane | string | yes | – |
| lease_s | integer | – | – |
| owner | string | yes | – |
Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.
No examples provided.
get_bus_status ~35
Roll-up for the command-center panel: active lanes, orphaned/stale claims, recent messages, pending display-only action flags.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.
No examples provided.
heartbeat_lane ~62
Renew the lease on a coordination lane you hold live. A 409 (not held live by you) tells you to (re)claim instead of crashing.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| lane | string | yes | – |
| lease_s | integer | – | – |
| owner | string | yes | – |
Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.
No examples provided.
post_message ~76
Append one message to the coordination-bus blackboard (append-only). v1 stores action_flag but performs no action -- it is display-only, seen by a human watching the command-center panel.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| action_flag | boolean | – | – |
| body | string | yes | – |
| sender | string | yes | – |
| topic | string | yes | – |
Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.
No examples provided.
read_messages ~32
Recent bus messages, newest first, optionally filtered by topic.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| limit | integer | – | – |
| topic | – | – | – |
Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.
No examples provided.
release_lane ~52
Release a coordination lane you hold. A 409 (held live by another owner) comes back as a clean ok=False conflict, not a crash.
