Available components
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 Security87
- No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
- Only part of the dependency tree could be resolved (105 of 109), so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree.Partial
- No install/post-install scripts declared.Pass
- Only part of the dependency tree could be resolved (105 of 109), so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree. View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency45
- 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
- Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).Pass
- Actively maintained (last published 15 days ago).Pass
- Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository. See how to fix → Fail
Schema Quality & AI Usability83
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Tool/resource definitions use about 427 tokens (~106/item across 4 items; 4 tools + 0 resources), lean.Pass
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management0
- Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).Unverified
Tool Coverage100
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass
Unverified: 1 category
A category scored 0 because we could not verify it: a data source with nothing on this package, evidence we could not reach, or a check we could not run. We only credit what we can confirm.

Dependencies 105 packages
105 packages in the resolved dependency tree · 104 deprecated · 29 stale.
The dependency tree was only partially resolved, so these counts may be incomplete.
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.
idml_get_story ~85
Return one story (text flow) from an IDML file: its plain text plus indexed runs with paragraph/character styles. Use the run indices with idml_set_text.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| path | string | yes | Path to the .idml file |
| storyId | string | yes | Story Self id, e.g. "u123" (from idml_summarize) |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
idml_relink_image ~122
Point an image link in an IDML file at a different image file. Only the link URI changes; frame geometry and cropping are untouched. Writes in place unless outPath is given.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| linkSelf | string | yes | Link Self id (from idml_summarize images list) |
| newUri | string | yes | New resource URI, e.g. "file:/C:/images/photo.jpg" |
| outPath | string | — | Write result here instead of overwriting the input |
| path | string | yes | Path to the .idml file |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
idml_set_text ~139
Safely replace the text of one run in a story. Only the text content changes — layout geometry, styles, and all other XML are preserved byte-for-byte, so the document cannot be corrupted. Writes in place unless outPath is given.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| outPath | string | — | Write result here instead of overwriting the input |
| path | string | yes | Path to the .idml file |
| runIndex | integer | yes | Run index within the story (from idml_get_story) |
| storyId | string | yes | Story Self id (from idml_summarize) |
| text | string | yes | New text for this run |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
idml_summarize ~81
Read an Adobe InDesign IDML file and return a structured, LLM-friendly summary: pages, spreads, frames, stories with indexed text runs, image links, and styles. Works directly on the .idml file — InDesign does not need to be installed or running.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| path | string | yes | Path to the .idml file |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
