CVE-2026-112398 affects this package (24 Oct 2026). See the changelog before you install this server.
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 → Why this is hard to score →
Supply Chain Security25
- Malware scan not yet available for this package.Unverified
- CVE check failed: an unpatched critical CVE affects this package; the score is capped at 0. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- Runs hatchling.build at install time, a recognised build step with no custom scripting around it. View diagnostics → Pass
- 3 of 60 dependencies flagged as unhealthy. View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency61
- Repository check failed: the declared repository URL redirects; it must resolve directly. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- Cryptographically verified build provenance (signed, bound to luarss/openroad-mcp). View diagnostics → Pass
- Licence could not be checked: the licence is shipped as a file inside the package, not declared as a standard (SPDX) licence identifier, so we cannot tell whether it is OSI-approved.Unverified
- Actively maintained (last published 98 days ago).Pass
- Publishes a security disclosure policy (SECURITY.md).Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability69
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Tool/resource definitions use about 444 tokens (~44/item across 10 items; 10 tools + 0 resources), lean.Pass
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management67
- Stability observed for 20 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage71
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 0% of tool parameters carry a description.Fail
- Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass
Tool Safety92
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- 2 of 3 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation; "interactive_openroad_query" implies "execute" and declares readOnlyHint instead, contradicting what its own name says it does. See how to fix → Partial
- An AI judge read all 10 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass

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. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
