Trust breakdown (6 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 →

Supply Chain Security87
  • No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
  • Only part of the dependency tree could be resolved (99 of 103), so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree.Partial
  • No install/post-install scripts declared.Pass
  • Only part of the dependency tree could be resolved (99 of 103), so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree. View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency45
Schema Quality & AI Usability81
  • 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).Pass
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
  • Tool/resource definitions use about 639 tokens (~106/item across 6 items; 5 tools + 1 resources), lean.Pass
  • Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management27
  • Stability observed for 8 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage100
  • 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
  • 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
  • Structured output schemas are declared (80% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass
Capabilities100
  • Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass

MCP tools — 5 exposed · ~608 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.

Tool Tokens
ask-llm ~283

Send a prompt to an LLM provider (Codex, Claude, Antigravity, Ollama, Gemini). Specify which provider to use. Each provider auto-selects its best model with fallback on errors. Returns both human-readable text and a structured response (provider, model, sessionId, usage) via outputSchema.

NameTypeReqDescription
modelstringOverride the default model. Usually not needed.
promptstringyesThe question, code review request, or analysis task to send
providerstringyesWhich LLM provider to use. Available: "gemini" (Gemini, default model: gemini-3.1-pro-preview), "codex" (Codex, default model: gpt-5.6-sol), "claude" (Claude, default model: opus), "ollama" (Ollama,…
sessionIdstringOptional session ID to resume a prior conversation. Pass the [Session ID: ...] or [Thread ID: ...] value from a previous response. Each provider handles sessions natively (Claude/Gemini --resume, Cod…

diagnose ~56

Run a self-diagnosis of the MCP server's environment: Node version, resolved PATH, provider CLI presence and versions, key env vars. Returns a structured report and a human-readable summary. Read-only; never spawns LLM calls.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

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.

multi-llm ~158

Dispatch the same prompt to multiple LLM providers in parallel and return all responses in one structured payload. Use when you want to compare answers across Codex, Claude, Antigravity, Ollama, and Gemini, or when you want a multi-provider sanity check on a question. Returns per-provider success/failure, response text, model, sessionId, and token usage. Each call is fresh — no session continuity (use ask-llm for individual session-bearing calls).

NameTypeReqDescription
promptstringyesThe prompt to send to all selected providers in parallel.
