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 Security100
- No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
- No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.Pass
- No install/post-install scripts declared.Pass
- No production dependencies, so there is no dependency health to assess. View diagnostics → Pass
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 16 days ago).Pass
- Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository. See how to fix → Fail
Schema Quality & AI Usability72
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 810 tokens (~202/item across 4 items; 4 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
- 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
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 4 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 4 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
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.
Every change we have recorded for this component, newest first. Security-relevant changes are always shown. ▲ marks a change for the better, ▼ a change for the worse; unmarked changes are neutral.

Provenance No attestation
The registry publishes no build provenance for this version, so there is nothing to verify.

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 →
configure ~192
Set up or change localize (backend URL, models, search, which tools to use automatically via auto_use). No arguments: effective config, where each value comes from, config file paths, detected backend API, reachability and the backend's model list. With {set, scope}: merge keys into the user or project config file (null removes a key). Changes apply on the next call without a restart. Call this first on a new machine.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| scope | string | – | Which file to write (default user). |
| set | object | – | Keys to change. Valid keys: base_url, api, api_key, headers, model, offload_model, delegate_model, research_model, search_url, research_sources, page_timeout_ms, allow_private_urls, num_ctx, max_toke… |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
delegate ~272
Implement a small function, helper or file with the LOCAL model: write the test first, then call this. The local model writes ONE file until YOUR test command passes, in an isolated git worktree. Returns only a PASS/FAIL verdict. Write the test first; the worker never sees test source, only parsed failures. Independent delegates can run in parallel. Read the diff before relying on the result.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| apply | boolean | – | Copy the passing file into the checkout (default true). |
| context | string | – | Exact API surface the file may use, verbatim (names, signatures, return shapes). |
| max_attempts | integer | – | Generate/test rounds (default from config). |
| model | string | – | Override the configured model for this call. |
| properties | – | – | Invariants that must hold for every input, ideally one per gating test. |
| show_code | boolean | – | Also return the code (default false: costs tokens). |
| spec | string | yes | What the file must do. Resolve every ambiguity here. |
| target_file | string | yes | File to create or modify, relative to the git root. |
| test_command | string | yes | Shell command run in the worktree; exit 0 = pass. |
| test_files | array | – | Test files; the target may not be one of them. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
offload ~160
Read big output with the LOCAL model instead of reading it yourself: test runs, builds, logs, large files or diffs. It reads files and/or a command's output and answers your question. Only the short answer comes back, so large logs, files or diffs never enter your context. Good for: summarising a huge test log, finding where something is defined across big files, extracting numbers.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| command | string | – | Shell command whose stdout+stderr is the material (e.g. a test run). |
| files | array | – | Paths relative to the git root (or cwd outside a repo). |
| model | string | – | Override the configured model for this call. |
| task | string | yes | The question to answer from the material. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
research ~186
Web lookup with the LOCAL model, instead of WebSearch/WebFetch: docs, current versions, facts from pages. Answers a question from the live web WITHOUT the pages entering your context. Searches SearXNG (or reads the "urls" you give), downloads the pages in full, has the LOCAL model answer with inline [n] citations, and returns only that answer plus the source list. Use it when the details on the pages matter. Slow by design: expect tens of seconds to minutes.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| max_sources | integer | – | Pages to read when searching (default from config). |
| model | string | – | Override the configured model for this call. |
| query | string | – | Search query if it should differ from the question. |
| question | string | yes | The research question, in full. |
| urls | array | – | Read these pages instead of searching (no search_url needed). |
