No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 90 to 93. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 27 days of observed history at the previous scan, 28 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

Provenance No attestation
The registry publishes no build provenance for this version, so there is nothing to verify.

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 →
ask-gemini ~218
Send a prompt to Gemini CLI (defaults to gemini-3.1-pro-preview with automatic Flash fallback on quota errors). Use for code review, second opinions, analysis, and AI-to-AI collaboration. Do not override the model parameter unless the user explicitly asks. Returns both human-readable text and a structured response (provider, model, sessionId, usage) via outputSchema.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| model | string | – | DO NOT set this parameter. The tool automatically uses gemini-3.1-pro-preview and falls back to gemini-3.8-flash on quota errors. Only set this if the user explicitly requests a specific model. |
| prompt | string | yes | The question, code review request, or analysis task to send to Gemini CLI. Use @ syntax to include files (e.g., '@largefile.js explain this') |
| sessionId | string | – | Optional Gemini session ID to resume a prior conversation. Use the [Session ID: ...] value from a previous response to continue the same chat with full prior context. |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| harness | string | – | – |
| model | string | yes | – |
| provider | string | yes | – |
| reportedModel | string | – | – |
| response | string | yes | – |
| sessionId | string | – | – |
| usage | object | – | – |
No examples provided.
ask-gemini-edit ~178
Send a code edit request to Gemini CLI and get structured OLD/NEW edit blocks back. Gemini analyzes the files and returns precise, applicable code changes. Use this when you want Gemini to suggest specific code modifications rather than just analysis.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| includeDirs | array | – | Additional directories to include in Gemini's context. Must be relative paths (e.g., 'packages/api'). Useful for monorepos. |
| model | string | – | DO NOT set this parameter. The tool automatically uses gemini-3.1-pro-preview and falls back to gemini-3.8-flash on quota errors. |
| prompt | string | yes | Describe the code changes you want. Reference files with @ syntax (e.g., '@src/app.ts refactor the error handling'). Gemini will return structured OLD/NEW edit blocks that can be applied directly. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
fetch-chunk ~66
Retrieves cached chunks from a changeMode response. Use this to get subsequent chunks after receiving a partial changeMode response.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| cacheKey | string | yes | The cache key provided in the initial changeMode response |
| chunkIndex | number | yes | Which chunk to retrieve (1-based index) |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get-usage-stats ~81
Get the current MCP server's session usage stats: total LLM calls, token totals (input/output/thinking/cached), wall time, and breakdowns per provider and per model. No data leaves your machine — counts are tracked in-memory for the lifetime of the server process. Returns both human-readable markdown and a structured JSON snapshot via outputSchema.
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| byModel | object | yes | – |
| byProvider | object | yes | – |
| fallbackCount | number | yes | – |
| totalCachedTokens | number | yes | – |
| totalCalls | number | yes | – |
| totalDurationMs | number | yes | – |
| totalInputTokens | number | yes | – |
| totalOutputTokens | number | yes | – |
| totalThinkingTokens | number | yes | – |
No examples provided.
ping ~30
Test connectivity with the MCP server
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| message | string | – | A message to echo back to test the connection |
No output schema declared.
