Trust breakdown (7 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 → Why this is hard to score →

Supply Chain Security99
  • No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
  • No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.Pass
  • Runs hatchling.build at install time, a recognised build step with no custom scripting around it. View diagnostics → Pass
  • 2 of 17 dependencies flagged as unhealthy. View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency100
  • Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL. View diagnostics → Pass
  • Cryptographically verified build provenance (signed, bound to K-Dense-AI/lab-instrument-mcps). View diagnostics → Pass

  • Actively maintained (last published 3 days ago).Pass
  • Publishes a security disclosure policy (SECURITY.md).Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability65
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1987 tokens (~165/item across 12 items; 12 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 Management13
  • Stability observed for 4 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial

  • 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
  • 87% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
  • Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass
Tool Safety100
  • No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
  • We read all 12 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
  • An AI judge read all 13 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass

MCP tools · 12 exposed · ~1,584 tokens

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 →

Tool Tokens
add_samples ~79

Append samples to a draft worklist (the worklist's defaults and automatic positions apply; any blank/QC/randomisation plan is re-applied to the longer list with the same seed).

NameTypeReqDescription
namestringyesDraft worklist name
samplesarrayyesSamples in run order: objects (sample_name required) or plain sample names

Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.

No examples provided.

create_worklist ~420

Create an in-memory draft worklist from a sample list plus defaults (methods, injection volume, tray positions, data-file naming pattern). Nothing is written to disk until export_worklist. Injection volumes above the max_injection_volume_ul limit are refused.

NameTypeReqDescription
bracket_typeinteger–Xcalibur only: 1 Overlapped, 2 None, 3 Non-Overlapped, 4 Open
data_file_patternstring–Data file naming pattern; placeholders {index} {sample_name} {sample_id} {type} {worklist} {date} {position}; illegal characters become '_'
data_pathstring–Data folder (Xcalibur Path column)
first_positionstring–If set, samples without a position get sequential positions from here, e.g. 'A1'
formatstringyesTarget vendor format (see list_formats)
injection_volume_ul––Injection volume in µL for samples that don't set one
lc_methodstring–Default LC/inlet method (Waters INLET_FILE, SCIEX LC Method)
max_vialinteger–Highest vial number (vial_number pattern)
ms_methodstring–Default MS/acquisition/instrument method
namestringyesDraft name (letters, digits, _ - .); used in file names
plate_sizeinteger–Positions per plate/tray
position_patternstring–Autosampler position format to enforce

vendor_columns––Constant vendor columns for every row, e.g. {'Rack Type': '...', 'Plate Type': '...'}

Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.

No examples provided.

export_worklist ~260

Validate the draft and write the vendor import file into the output folder. Returns the path, a preview of the first lines, warnings and import instructions. Refuses if validation finds errors or the file exists (unless overwrite=true). This does not start an acquisition: a person imports the file into the acquisition software.

NameTypeReqDescription
bracket_type––Xcalibur bracket type override
delimiter––Field separator (Xcalibur must match the Windows list separator)
filename––File name inside the output folder (default '<name>_<format>.csv')
format––Vendor format (default: the draft's); use another to convert
namestringyesDraft worklist name
overwriteboolean–Replace an existing file of the same name
template_columns––Header columns to use instead of a template file
template_path––A blank batch/sequence/worklist exported from the vendor software, in the output folder; its header (and delimiter) is used
utf8_bom––Force a UTF-8 BOM on/off (default per format)
write_provenanceboolean–Also write <file>.provenance.json (history, seed, original sample order)

Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.

No examples provided.

get_command_log ~46

Return the most recent raw commands sent to / replies received from the instrument (newest last). Useful for debugging and for recording what was done.

NameTypeReqDescription
limitinteger––
NameTypeReqDescription
resultarrayyes–

No examples provided.

get_connection_info ~40

Report which instrument is connected (identity, address, simulated or real), whether the server is read-only, and the active safety limits. Call this first.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.

No examples provided.

get_worklist ~59

Show a draft worklist in run order, with its defaults, blank/QC plan, randomisation seed and the history of operations applied to it.

NameTypeReqDescription
max_rowsinteger––
namestringyesDraft worklist name

Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.

No examples provided.

import_worklist ~118

Parse an existing MassLynx, SCIEX OS, MassHunter or Xcalibur import file from the output folder into a draft, so it can be validated, edited or exported in another vendor's format. Columns without a neutral equivalent are kept verbatim. Only reads; nothing is written.

NameTypeReqDescription
format––Format; detected from the header if omitted
name––Draft name (default: the file name)
pathstringyesFile in the output folder (relative path)
replaceboolean––

Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.

No examples provided.

insert_qc_blanks ~319

Insert blanks and QC injections and optionally randomise the run order (with a recorded seed). Replaces any previous plan, so calling it again does not duplicate blanks. The plan is re-applied whenever samples are added; data-file names follow the new run order.

NameTypeReqDescription
blank_at_endboolean––
blank_at_startboolean––
blank_every_n––Insert a blank after every N samples
blank_injection_volume_ul––Injection volume in µL for samples that don't set one

blank_positionstring–Tray position of the blank vial
namestringyesDraft worklist name
qc_at_endinteger–Number of QC injections at the end
qc_at_startinteger–Number of QC injections at the start
qc_every_n––Insert a QC after every N samples

qc_namestring––
qc_positionstring–Tray position of the pooled QC vial
randomizeboolean–Randomise the run order of the samples first
randomize_typesarray–Which sample types are shuffled among their own slots (standards stay put by default)
seed––Random seed (a new one is drawn and recorded if omitted)

Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.

No examples provided.

list_formats ~86

List the supported import formats (Waters MassLynx, SCIEX OS, Agilent MassHunter, Thermo Xcalibur): columns, required fields, sample-type names, file extensions, how to import, what is verified against vendor documents and what is assumed, and the source URLs. Also lists the position patterns and the formats that were researched but not implemented.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.

No examples provided.

validate_worklist ~98

Check a draft against the target format: required fields, duplicate data-file names, characters Windows does not allow in file names, tray/vial position format and plate bounds, injection volume (> 0 and <= the max_injection_volume_ul limit), and method file extensions. Errors block export; warnings don't.
