## 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**: 86/100
  - No malware found by supply-chain analysis.
  - Only part of the dependency tree could be resolved (94 of 98), 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 (94 of 98), so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree.
- **Provenance & Transparency**: 19/100
  - Repository check failed: the declared repository URL returned HTTP 404.
  - Provenance check failed: no build-provenance attestation is published.
  - Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).
  - Actively maintained (last published 129 days ago).
  - Security-disclosure policy not yet verified: we couldn't inspect the source repository.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 20/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (poor).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1008 tokens (~1008/item across 1 items; 1 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 27/100
  - Stability observed for 8 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.

## MCP tools (1)

### `overdrive_intel` (~556 tokens)

Curated AI coding ecosystem intelligence from 880+ monitored sources, updated daily. Provides: breaking change alerts, security advisories (CVEs), tool discovery, best practices and gotchas, tool comparisons, and release tracking. Covers: MCP servers, Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf, Aider, Codex, Anthropic/OpenAI/Gemini/Mistral APIs, LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGen, Pydantic AI, embedding models, CLAUDE.md patterns, hooks/skills, and agentic patterns. NOT for general programming (React, CSS, SQL, databases, Docker, Kubernetes, web frameworks) or non-programming topics.

Input parameters:

- `context_stack` (array): AI-related packages from the current project (e.g. ["anthropic", "langchain"]). Personalizes results.
- `days` (number): How many days back to look (for "feed", "breaking", and "briefing" types). Default: 7
- `feed_persona` (string): Filter feed by persona/audience (for "feed" type only). Examples: "developer", "researcher"
- `feed_tag` (string): Filter feed by tag (for "feed" type only). Examples: "anthropic", "mcp", "claude-code"
- `feed_type` (string): Filter feed by content type (for "feed" type only). Examples: "github_release", "rss_item"
- `feedback` (array): Report on items from previous calls (fire-and-forget, never delays results)
- `query` (string, required): Short keyword query (2-5 words). Extract the core topic from the user's question. Examples: "MCP browser automation", "Claude Code hooks gotchas", "LangChain vs CrewAI", "OpenAI SDK breaking changes"…
- `telemetry` (boolean): Set to false to disable feedback/context_stack write-back (default: true)
- `type` (string): What kind of answer you need: - "search" — find tools, best practices, docs (DEFAULT for most questions) - "similar" — semantic comparison: "X vs Y", "alternatives to X" (uses vector similarity) - "f…
