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 Security80
  • No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
  • Only part of the dependency tree could be resolved (128 of 132), so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree.Partial
  • Runs a script at install time (postinstall) that we could not recognise. It may be perfectly ordinary, but we do not read the published tarball, so we cannot say what it does. View diagnostics → Partial
  • Only part of the dependency tree could be resolved (128 of 132), so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree. View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency45
Schema Quality & AI Usability50
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1246 tokens (~415/item across 3 items; 3 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 Management23
  • Stability observed for 7 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage100
  • 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
  • 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
Capabilities100
  • Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass

MCP tools — 3 exposed · ~1,246 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.

Tool Tokens
create-pdf ~803

Create a PDF document with text, images, shapes, and full layout control. Supports progressive enhancement from simple documents to complex designs. **Key Features:** • Unicode support: Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, emoji - auto-detects system fonts • Page setup (custom size, margins, background color) • Text with colors, fonts, positioning, and styling (oblique, spacing, etc.) • Shapes (rectangles, circles, lines) for visual design • Emoji rendering with inline image support **Common Patterns:** 1. **Simple Document** (no pageSetup needed): [{"type": "heading", "text": "Title"}, {"type": "text", "text": "Body"}] 2. **Styled Document** (add colors/background): pageSetup: {"backgroundColor": "#F5F5F5"} content: [{"type": "heading", "text": "Title", "color": "#4A90E2"}] 3. **Custom Layout** (letterhead, certificates): [{"type": "rect", "x": 0, "y": 0, "width": 612, "height": 80, "fillColor": "navy"}, {"type": "heading", "text": "Company", "color": "white", "y": 25, "align": "center"}] 4. **Algorithmic Design** (tapering fonts, progressive layouts): Calculate values in a loop, then pass to tool: for (let i = 0; i < lines.length; i++) { const progress = i / lines.length; const fontSize = 8 + (progress * 16); // 8pt → 24pt content.push({"type": "text", "text": lines[i], "fontSize": fontSize}); } **Coordinate System:** • Origin (0, 0) is top-left corner • Letter size page: 612 x 792 points (8.5" x 11") • 72 points = 1 inch **Tips:** • Use "align": "center" for centered text (works with or without "width") • Use "x" to manually position (calculate as: (pageWidth - textWidth) / 2 for centering) • Colors: hex ("#FFD700") or named ("gold", "navy", "black") • Oblique: true for default slant, or number for degrees (15 = italic look) • All pageSetup and visual styling fields are optional - defaults match standard documents
