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 Security86
  • No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
  • Only part of the dependency tree could be resolved (94 of 98), so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree.Partial
  • No install/post-install scripts declared.Pass
  • Only part of the dependency tree could be resolved (94 of 98), so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree. View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency45
Schema Quality & AI Usability75
  • 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).Pass
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (fair).Partial
  • Tool/resource definitions use about 417 tokens (~29/item across 14 items; 12 tools + 2 resources), lean.Pass
  • 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

MCP tools — 12 exposed · ~395 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
audit_mcp_config ~131

Governance lint for MCP server configurations (free, local). Checks: plaintext secrets in env, unpinned packages, auto-install flags, broad filesystem scopes, shell wrappers, non-TLS remote transports, unpinned docker tags. Returns findings with severities and a 0-100 score.
