Trust breakdown (6 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 →

Supply Chain Security70
  • No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
  • CVE check failed: a known high-severity CVE affects @modelcontextprotocol/sdk 1.13.3, a direct dependency. A fixed version is available. View diagnostics → Fail
  • No install/post-install scripts declared.Pass
  • Only part of the dependency tree could be resolved (92 of 96), so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree. View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency71
  • Repository check failed: the declared repository URL returned HTTP 404. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
  • Cryptographically verified build provenance (signed, bound to jeresalmisto/calcfi-mcp). View diagnostics → Pass
  • Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).Pass
  • Actively maintained (last published 64 days ago).Pass
  • Security-disclosure policy not yet verified: we couldn't inspect the source repository.Unverified
Schema Quality & AI Usability67
  • 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).Pass
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (fair).Partial
  • Tool/resource definitions use about 2877 tokens (~82/item across 35 items; 25 tools + 10 resources), lean.Pass
  • Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management27
  • Stability observed for 8 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage68
  • 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
  • 3% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
Capabilities60
