Trust breakdown (7 categories)

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 Security98
  • No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
  • No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.Pass
  • No install/post-install scripts declared.Pass
  • 42 of 144 dependencies flagged as unhealthy. View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency45
Schema Quality & AI Usability75
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
  • Tool/resource definitions use about 967 tokens (~69/item across 14 items; 14 tools + 0 resources), lean.Pass
  • Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management93
  • Stability observed for 28 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage78
  • 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
  • 33% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
Tool Safety75
  • No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
  • 0 of 1 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation; "publish_post" implies "publish" and declares no destructiveHint at all, which the MCP spec reads as destructive by default. See how to fix → Fail
  • An AI judge read all 14 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

MCP tools · 14 exposed · ~967 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. 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 →

Tool Tokens
broll_status ~73

Report workspace location, ffmpeg availability, configured generation providers, and social platform readiness. Call this first to see what is possible. Pass probe: true to live-verify social credentials (makes real authenticated API calls, posts nothing).

NameTypeReqDescription
probebooleanLive-verify social platform credentials (no posts are made)

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

create_post_draft ~87

Create a reviewable post draft (text + media + target platforms). Validates against per-platform rules (char limits, media counts/sizes) and reports violations. Nothing is published — drafts are files the user can inspect; use publish_post to send.

NameTypeReqDescription
mediaarrayAsset ids or absolute paths
platformsarrayyes
textstringyes

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

create_thread_draft ~82

Create a multi-post thread draft. On publish, posts chain as replies under the first one (Bluesky reply refs, X in_reply_to). Each post has its own text and up to 4 images, validated per platform. Nothing is published until publish_post with confirm: true.

NameTypeReqDescription
platformsarrayyes
postsarrayyes

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

extract_frame ~43

Extract a single PNG frame from a video at a timestamp — use it to visually QA a render.

NameTypeReqDescription
assetstringyes
atSecnumber

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

generate_image ~113

Generate image(s) with the user’s own API keys (BYO-key: OpenAI or Gemini; falls back to a labelled mock when no keys are set). Returns workspace asset ids usable in render_video, render_carousel, and post drafts.

NameTypeReqDescription
aspectstring
labelstringHuman-readable label stored on the asset
ninteger
promptstringyes
providerstringForce a provider by name: openai | gemini | mock

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

generate_video ~88

Generate a short video clip with the user’s own API keys (Gemini Veo when configured; labelled mock otherwise). Expensive with real keys — only call when the user’s workflow needs generated footage.

NameTypeReqDescription
aspectstring
durationSecinteger
promptstringyes
providerstringForce a provider by name: gemini | mock

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

import_asset ~49

Copy a local file (image/video/audio) into the broll workspace and get an asset id for it.

NameTypeReqDescription
labelstring
pathstringyesAbsolute path to the file

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

list_assets ~31

List workspace assets (generated, imported, and rendered), optionally filtered by kind.

NameTypeReqDescription
kindstring

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

list_drafts ~22

List post drafts in the outbox with status and publish results.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

probe_asset ~37

Inspect a media file: duration, dimensions, codecs, streams. Accepts an asset id or absolute path.

NameTypeReqDescription
assetstringyes

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

publish_post ~112

Publish a draft to its target platforms. Requires confirm: true — never call this without the user’s explicit go-ahead in the conversation. Platforms without credentials fail independently with setup instructions; "export" always succeeds and writes a ready-to-post bundle.

NameTypeReqDescription
confirmbooleanyesMust be true. Confirms the user explicitly approved publishing this draft now.
draftIdstringyes
platformsarrayPublish to only this subset of the draft’s platforms (e.g. test one network first).

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

render_carousel ~60

Render branded carousel slides (the Instagram/LinkedIn format). Layout, fonts, accent bar, page numbers, and watermark are deterministic code; backgrounds can be plain color or any image asset. Returns one asset per slide.

NameTypeReqDescription
specobjectyes

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

render_video ~72

Compile a declarative RenderPlan into an mp4 via ffmpeg — deterministic, brand-aware, no generation keys needed. Clips (video/image/color) are concatenated in order; overlays and captions are burned in; optional music is mixed under clip audio. Returns the rendered asset id.

NameTypeReqDescription
planobjectyes

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

set_profile ~98

Update the Bluesky profile (display name, bio, avatar image) — merges with the existing profile, never clobbers other fields. Requires confirm: true because it changes the public account.

NameTypeReqDescription
avatarAssetstringAsset id or absolute path of an image
biostring
confirmbooleanyesMust be true. Confirms the user explicitly approved this profile change.
