## 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**: 0/100
  - Malware scan not yet available for this package.
  - CVE data not yet available for this package.
  - Install-script risk not yet assessed.
  - Dependency-health data not yet available.
- **Provenance & Transparency**: 6/100
  - Repository check failed: the declared repository URL redirects; it must resolve directly.
  - Provenance check failed: no build-provenance attestation is published.
  - License check failed: no license is declared.
  - Actively maintained (last published 58 days ago).
  - Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 57/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (fair).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 444 tokens (~44/item across 10 items; 10 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**: 71/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 0% of tool parameters carry a description.
  - Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

**Unverified: 2 categories.** Categories scored 0 because we could not verify them: 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.

## MCP tools (10)

### `interactive_openroad_query` (~81 tokens)

Execute a read-only OpenROAD command (report_*, get_*, check_*, sta, help, etc.).

Use this for querying design state, generating reports, and inspecting timing.

### `interactive_openroad_exec` (~85 tokens)

Execute a state-modifying OpenROAD command (set_*, create_*, read_*, write_*, flow commands).

Use this for loading designs, running placement/routing, applying constraints,
and writing output files. Read-only commands are blocked — use interactive_openroad_query instead.
