## 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 2026-08-03.

- **Supply Chain Security**: 87/100
  - No malware found by supply-chain analysis.
  - Only part of the dependency tree could be resolved (95 of 99), so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree.
  - No install/post-install scripts declared.
  - Only part of the dependency tree could be resolved (95 of 99), so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree.
- **Provenance & Transparency**: 45/100
  - Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL.
  - Provenance check failed: no build-provenance attestation is published.
  - Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).
  - Actively maintained (last published 214 days ago).
  - Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 71/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 433 tokens (~108/item across 4 items; 4 tools + 0 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 27/100
  - Stability observed for 8 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 100/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 100% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

- [functional] We updated how we score, so this day's move reflects our rubric, not a change to the server

### 2026-07-27 (score 46)

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (4)

### `check_status` (~20 tokens)

Check if the Draw Things API server is running and accessible

### `get_config` (~21 tokens)

Get the current Draw Things configuration including the loaded model and settings

### `generate_image` (~190 tokens)

Generate an image from a text prompt using the Draw Things app. The image will be saved to disk and the file path returned.

Input parameters:

- `cfg_scale` (number): Classifier-free guidance scale (default: 7.5)
- `height` (integer): Height of the generated image in pixels (default: 512)
- `model` (string): Model filename to use for generation (use list_models to see available models)
- `negative_prompt` (string): Elements to exclude from the generated image
- `output_path` (string): Custom file path to save the generated image
- `prompt` (string, required): Text description of the image to generate
- `seed` (integer): Random seed for reproducibility (-1 for random)
- `steps` (integer): Number of inference steps (default: 20)
- `width` (integer): Width of the generated image in pixels (default: 512)

### `transform_image` (~202 tokens)

Transform an existing image using a text prompt (img2img). Either image_path or image_base64 must be provided.

Input parameters:

- `cfg_scale` (number): Classifier-free guidance scale (default: 7.5)
- `denoising_strength` (number): Strength of the transformation (0.0-1.0, default: 0.75). Lower values keep more of the original image.
- `image_base64` (string): Base64-encoded source image (alternative to image_path)
- `image_path` (string): Path to the source image file to transform
- `negative_prompt` (string): Elements to exclude from the transformed image
- `output_path` (string): Custom file path to save the transformed image
- `prompt` (string, required): Text description of the desired transformation
- `seed` (integer): Random seed for reproducibility (-1 for random)
- `steps` (integer): Number of inference steps (default: 20)
