## 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**: 74/100
  - 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.
  - Install-script check failed: the install command fetches or executes arbitrary code (inline_eval). An install hook runs on every machine, in CI, and on transitive installs, whether or not you ever run the server.
  - 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 44 days ago).
  - Security-disclosure policy not yet verified: we couldn't inspect the source repository.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 77/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 449 tokens (~64/item across 7 items; 7 tools + 0 resources), lean.
  - 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.

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (7)

### `ocr` (~58 tokens)

Extract text from an image or rendered PDF page using on-device Apple Vision OCR. Fully offline, ~0.2s.

Input parameters:

- `path` (string, required): Absolute path to an image (png/jpg/heic/tiff) or rendered PDF page.

### `generate` (~61 tokens)

Ask Apple's on-device Intelligence model (offline). Good for quick answers, drafting, rewriting. Concise; not for deep reasoning.

Input parameters:

- `instructions` (string): Optional system-style guidance (tone, role, format).
- `prompt` (string, required): The prompt / question.

### `summarize` (~34 tokens)

Summarize text concisely using Apple's on-device Intelligence model (offline).

Input parameters:

- `text` (string, required): The text to summarize.

### `extract` (~97 tokens)

Extract STRUCTURED data from text with Apple's on-device model (offline) — returns JSON. Great for pulling an event, action items, or contact fields out of an email / note / message.

Input parameters:

- `text` (string, required): The source text.
- `want` (string): What to extract, e.g. 'the meeting date, time, attendees, and location' or 'all action items'. Defaults to key fields/entities/dates/action-items.

### `classify` (~51 tokens)

Classify text into EXACTLY ONE of a provided set of labels, on-device (offline).

Input parameters:

- `labels` (array, required): The allowed labels (pick exactly one).
- `text` (string, required): The text to classify.

### `detect` (~57 tokens)

Detect dates, links, phone numbers, and addresses in text (NSDataDetector — fully offline + deterministic). Returns a JSON array of items. Pairs well with extract for grounding calendar/contact data.

Input parameters:

- `text` (string, required): The text to scan.

### `recognize_document` (~91 tokens)

STRUCTURED document OCR via Apple Vision (RecognizeDocumentsRequest, offline). Returns JSON {transcript, tables} and preserves TABLES as rows/cells + reading order — unlike `ocr`, which flattens layout. Use for tables, forms, receipts, and multi-column documents.

Input parameters:

- `path` (string, required): Absolute path to an image (png/jpg/heic/tiff) or rendered PDF page.
