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 Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 3 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 3 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.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 →
describe ~77
Return a pointer-blob for a typed ID. Supported kinds: ``tool:`` / ``module:`` / ``cmd:`` / ``recipe:``. Does not inline payloads — returns URLs the caller should fetch next, keeping the catalog's "pointers, not facts" invariant.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| typed_id | string | yes | – |
Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.
No examples provided.
route_intent ~71
Return typed IDs matching the plain-English intent. Example: ``route_intent("parse JSON in M")`` returns ``["module:m-stdlib#STDJSON"]``. Results are ``[primary, *see_also]`` from the matched task_index row.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| query | string | yes | – |
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| result | array | yes | – |
No examples provided.
verify ~62
List the ``verification_commands`` declared in a repo's ``repo.meta.json``. Accepts either a bare repo slug (``m-cli``) or a typed ID (``tool:m-cli``). Does NOT execute the commands.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |

Is the m-dev-tools MCP server safe to use?
m-dev-tools scores 77 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 4 November 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. Its build provenance is signed and verified. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.
What tools does the m-dev-tools MCP server expose?
m-dev-tools exposes 3 tools: route_intent, describe, verify. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 210 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Is the m-dev-tools MCP server still maintained?
m-dev-tools is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 4 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
What licence is the m-dev-tools MCP server under?
m-dev-tools declares the AGPL-3.0 licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
