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 Security83
- No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
- CVE check failed: a known high-severity CVE affects @fastify/static 9.3.0, reached via @fastify/swagger-ui > @fastify/static. A fixed version is available. View diagnostics → Fail
- Declares code that runs automatically (postinstall) and that we could not recognise. It may be perfectly ordinary, but we have not established what it does. View diagnostics → Partial
- 55 of 184 dependencies flagged as unhealthy. View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency6
- Repository check failed: the declared repository URL returned HTTP 404. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- Provenance check failed: no build-provenance attestation is published. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- License check failed: no license is declared. See how to fix → Fail
- Actively maintained (last published 154 days ago).Pass
- Security-disclosure policy not yet verified: we couldn't inspect the source repository.Unverified
Schema Quality & AI Usability0
- Schema quality not yet verified: our sandbox could not run this package, so we have no schema to assess.Unverified
Stability & Change Management0
- Stability not yet verified: our sandbox could not run this package, so we have no schema to compare.Unverified
Tool Coverage0
- Tool coverage not yet verified: our sandbox could not run this package, so we have no tool definitions to assess.Unverified
Tool Safety0
- Tool safety not yet verified: our sandbox could not run this package, so we have no tool text to scan.Unverified
Capabilities0
- Protocol version not yet verified: our sandbox could not run this package, so we never saw its MCP handshake.Unverified
Unverified: 5 categories
Categories scored 0 because our sandbox could not run this package, so we have no schema for these checks to read. That is a gap on our side rather than a finding about the package, and we only credit what we can confirm, so the score stands at 0 until we can run it. How we score packages →

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 →
Tools for package channels are captured by running the package in an isolated sandbox. The most recent sandbox run could not capture a tool list from this package.
