## 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 2026-08-03.

- **Supply Chain Security**: 87/100
  - No malware found by supply-chain analysis.
  - Only part of the dependency tree could be resolved (95 of 99), so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree.
  - No install/post-install scripts declared.
  - Only part of the dependency tree could be resolved (95 of 99), so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree.
- **Provenance & Transparency**: 45/100
  - Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL.
  - Provenance check failed: no build-provenance attestation is published.

  - Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 77/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 396 tokens (~99/item across 4 items; 4 tools + 0 resources), lean.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 23/100
  - Stability observed for 7 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **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.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (4)

### `scan_directory` (~150 tokens)

Run the MCPWatch security scanner on a local directory. Returns a 0-100 score, A-F letter grade, and findings from the 10 OWASP MCP Top 10 checks (command injection, path traversal, SSRF, prompt injection via tool descriptions, unauthenticated mutations, secret leakage, over-permissive filesystem scopes, missing rate limits, outdated dependencies, missing input schema validation).

Input parameters:

- `name` (string): Optional name for the target (defaults to the directory basename)
- `path` (string, required): Absolute path to the directory to scan
- `sarif` (boolean): If true, return findings as a SARIF v2.1.0 document for GitHub Code Scanning

### `scan_github_repo` (~88 tokens)

Fetch the latest MCPWatch scan result for a public GitHub repository from the live crawler. Use this when you want to audit an MCP server by its GitHub owner/repo name instead of cloning it locally. Returns the same grade + findings shape as scan_directory.

Input parameters:

- `owner` (string, required): GitHub owner (user or org)
- `repo` (string, required): GitHub repository name

### `get_leaderboard` (~97 tokens)

Fetch the current MCPWatch leaderboard of public MCP servers ranked by security grade. Returns the most recently scanned set with per-repo grade, score, and finding count. Use this to pick a safe MCP server from a set of candidates.

Input parameters:

- `grade_filter` (string): Optional letter grade filter (A, B, C, D, F)
- `limit` (integer): Maximum number of entries to return (default: 20)

### `get_badge_url` (~61 tokens)

Return the URL of a live MCPWatch SVG grade badge for a GitHub repository. Drop this into any README to show the current MCPWatch grade.

Input parameters:

- `owner` (string, required): GitHub owner
- `repo` (string, required): GitHub repository name
