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 Security0
- Malware scan not yet available for this package.Unverified
- CVE data not yet available for this package.Unverified
- Install-script risk not yet assessed.Unverified
- Dependency-health data not yet available.Unverified
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 122 days ago).Pass
- Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository. See how to fix → Fail
Schema Quality & AI Usability82
- 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).Pass
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Tool/resource definitions use about 679 tokens (~113/item across 6 items; 5 tools + 1 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 Coverage82
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 45% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass
Unverified: 2 categories
Categories scored 0 because we could not verify them: 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.

Diagnostic detail from the automated scan of this channel: what the scanner observed at each step, so you can see exactly where a check passed or failed. It is informational only and never changes the trust score.

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.
follow_up_research Follow Up Research ~77
Grounded follow-up over a prior guided research result. Use searchSessionId from research and ask one specific question. This tool answers only when the saved evidence is strong enough; otherwise it returns an explicit abstention or insufficient-evidence response plus next actions.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| question | string | yes | — |
| searchSessionId | string | yes | — |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_runtime_status Get Runtime Status ~44
Guided runtime and provider-status summary. Use this to confirm the active tool profile, transport, effective smart provider, enabled coverage, and high-level warnings without reading low-level diagnostics.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
inspect_source Inspect Source ~67
Inspect one source from a prior guided research result. Pass the searchSessionId and a source id from the research response to get provenance, trust state, source-access details, and the best direct-read follow-through.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| searchSessionId | string | yes | — |
| sourceId | string | yes | — |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
research Research ~193
Default guided entry point for low-context research requests. Use this for topic discovery, known-item recovery, citation repair, and regulatory or species-history questions when you want one trust-graded response instead of choosing among raw tools. The server picks the safest retrieval path, returns a compact evidence summary plus source records, and abstains or marks partial results when evidence is weak, off-topic, or incomplete.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| focus | string | — | Optional focus hint to steer the research goal. |
| latencyProfile | string | — | Research depth profile: fast, balanced, or deep. Default is balanced. |
| limit | integer | — | Max evidence-bearing sources to keep in the guided result set (default 5, max 10). |
| query | string | yes | — |
| venue | string | — | Optional venue hint to narrow the request. |
| year | string | — | Optional year or year range hint, e.g. 2022:2025. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
resolve_reference Resolve Reference ~77
Resolve one reference-like input into the safest next anchor. Accepts citations, DOI strings, DOI URLs, arXiv IDs, title fragments, and regulatory references. Returns the best match when one is trustworthy, alternatives when ambiguity remains, and direct next actions when the input should pivot into a primary-source path.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| reference | string | yes | — |
