## 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)

Scored 2026-11-05.

- **Supply Chain Security**: 73/100
  - No malware found by supply-chain analysis.
  - CVE check failed: an unpatched critical CVE affects this package; the score is capped at 0.
  - No install/post-install scripts declared.
  - 39 of 121 dependencies flagged as unhealthy.
- **Provenance & Transparency**: 48/100
  - 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 7 days ago).
  - Publishes a security disclosure policy (SECURITY.md).
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 76/100
  - 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (fair).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 1235 tokens (~49/item across 25 items; 25 tools + 0 resources), lean.
  - 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**: 80/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 40% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Tool Safety**: 75/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - 0 of 2 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation; "delete_file" implies "delete" and declares no destructiveHint at all, which the MCP spec reads as destructive by default.
  - An AI judge read all 25 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.

### 2026-10-28 (score 0)

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (25)

### `search_tools` (~66 tokens)

Find tools by keyword across ALL toolsets, including ones not loaded yet. Call with no query to list every toolset.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (number): Max matches (default 15)
- `query` (string): Keywords, e.g. 'pull request' or 'docker logs'

### `load_toolset` (~56 tokens)

Load one or more toolsets (e.g. 'git', 'github', 'docker') so their tools become available. Use search_tools to discover toolset names.

Input parameters:

- `toolsets` (array, required): Toolset names to load

### `use_tool` (~106 tokens)

Call any tool by name, even one that is not in your tool list yet (its toolset loads automatically). Use this when load_toolset says your client may not show new tools. Set describe=true to see a tool's parameters first.

Input parameters:

- `arguments` (object): The tool's arguments as an object
- `describe` (boolean): Only show the tool's parameters, do not run it
- `tool` (string, required): Tool name, e.g. github_list_issues

### `read_file` (~44 tokens)

Read the full text content of a single file.

Input parameters:

- `encoding` (string): Text encoding, defaults to utf8
- `path` (string, required): Absolute path to the file

### `read_multiple_files` (~47 tokens)

Read multiple files in a single call. Failures on individual files do not stop the batch.

Input parameters:

- `encoding` (string)
- `paths` (array, required): Array of absolute file paths

### `create_file` (~49 tokens)

Create a brand-new file. Fails if the file already exists (use write_file to overwrite).

Input parameters:

- `content` (string): Initial file content, defaults to empty
- `path` (string, required)

### `write_file` (~38 tokens)

Create or completely overwrite a file with new content. Creates parent directories if needed.

Input parameters:

- `content` (string, required)
- `path` (string, required)

### `edit_file` (~86 tokens)

Edit a file via exact string find-and-replace, without rewriting the whole file. old_str must match exactly and be unique unless replace_all is set.

Input parameters:

- `new_str` (string, required): Text to replace it with
- `old_str` (string, required): Exact text to find
- `path` (string, required)
- `replace_all` (boolean): Replace every occurrence instead of requiring uniqueness

### `delete_file` (~41 tokens)

Delete a single file. DESTRUCTIVE — requires confirm: true.

Input parameters:

- `confirm` (boolean): Must be true to proceed
- `path` (string, required)

### `move_file` (~30 tokens)

Move or rename a file or directory.

Input parameters:

- `destination` (string, required)
- `source` (string, required)

### `copy_file` (~31 tokens)

Copy a single file to a new location.

Input parameters:

- `destination` (string, required)
- `source` (string, required)

### `get_file_info` (~33 tokens)

Get metadata about a file or directory: size, type, created/modified timestamps.

Input parameters:

- `path` (string, required)

### `list_directory` (~26 tokens)

List the immediate files and subfolders inside a directory.

Input parameters:

- `path` (string, required)

### `directory_tree` (~50 tokens)

Recursively build a tree view of a directory's contents (skips node_modules and .git).

Input parameters:

- `max_depth` (number): Maximum recursion depth, default 5
- `path` (string, required)

### `create_directory` (~26 tokens)

Create a new directory, including any missing parent directories.

Input parameters:

- `path` (string, required)

### `delete_directory` (~57 tokens)

Delete a directory. Recursive by default so it removes nested contents too. DESTRUCTIVE — requires confirm: true.

Input parameters:

- `confirm` (boolean): Must be true to proceed
- `path` (string, required)
- `recursive` (boolean)

### `search_files` (~49 tokens)

Recursively search for files/folders whose name contains a given pattern (case-insensitive).

Input parameters:

- `max_results` (number)
- `pattern` (string, required)
- `root_path` (string, required)

### `run_command` (~118 tokens)

Run a shell command in a given working directory (npm install, npm run build, pip install, tests, etc.). A short list of catastrophic patterns (drive wipes, format, shutdown) is blocked; everything else executes with full permissions. HIGH risk — requires confirm: true.

Input parameters:

- `command` (string, required): The shell command to run
- `confirm` (boolean): Must be true to proceed
- `cwd` (string, required): Working directory to run the command in
- `timeout_ms` (number): Timeout in ms, default 60000

Get a health snapshot of a project: git cleanliness/ahead-behind, whether dependencies are installed, and which env files are present.

Input parameters:

- `repo_path` (string, required)

### `run_tests` (~40 tokens)

Detect and run the project's test command, returning stdout/stderr/exit_code.

Input parameters:
