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 Security100
  • No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
  • No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.Pass
  • Runs setuptools.build_meta at install time, a recognised native-build step with no shell scripting around it. View diagnostics → Pass
  • 2 of 41 dependencies flagged as unhealthy. View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency35
Schema Quality & AI Usability63
  • 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).Pass
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (poor).Fail
  • Tool/resource definitions use about 8693 tokens (~42/item across 203 items; 184 tools + 19 resources), lean.Pass
  • Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management40
  • Stability observed for 12 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
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
Capabilities100
  • Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).Pass
