## Trust breakdown

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. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

- **Supply Chain Security**: 100/100
  - No malware found by supply-chain analysis.
  - No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.
  - No install/post-install scripts declared.
  - No production dependencies, so there is no dependency health to assess.
- **Provenance & Transparency**: 45/100
  - Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL.
  - Provenance check failed: no build-provenance attestation is published.
  - Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).
  - Actively maintained (last published 1 days ago).
  - Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 65/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 764 tokens (~382/item across 2 items; 2 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 0/100
  - Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).
- **Tool Coverage**: 100/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 100% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 2 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 3 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

**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.

### `convert_to_indesign` (~329 tokens)

Convert HTML design to InDesign (.idml)

Convert a self-contained HTML design into an editable Adobe InDesign IDML file and write it to disk. Provide exactly one of: html (the full document as a string), path (a local .html file; only that one file is uploaded, so inline its CSS, fonts and images first), or url (a public link to a hosted .html). Returns the output path plus pages converted, fonts InDesign needs active, and a geometry check. Designs with images come back as an .idml next to a Links/ folder; keep them together. Without a license key only the first pages convert (free trial) and the result includes the purchase link.

Input parameters:

- `html` (string): The complete HTML document to convert (self-contained: inline CSS, fonts via Google Fonts or embedded, images as data URIs or absolute URLs).
- `name` (string): Base name for the output (no extension). Defaults to the source file name or 'design'.
- `out_dir` (string): Directory to write the output into. Defaults to IDMLY_OUT_DIR, else the source file's directory, else the current directory.
- `path` (string): Absolute or relative path to a local .html file to convert. Only this file is uploaded.
- `platform` (string): Which platform's InDesign will open the file (picks glyph-fallback fonts). Defaults to this machine; unknown platforms get free Noto/Source Han fallbacks.
- `url` (string): Public https URL of a hosted .html design (a direct link, not a share or app link).

### `idmly_status` (~41 tokens)

idmly status

Check that the idmly engine is reachable and whether a license key is configured for this MCP server (presence only; the key is validated on conversion).
