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 Security70

No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
CVE check failed: a known high-severity CVE affects sharp 0.33.5, a direct dependency. A fixed version is available. View diagnostics → Fail
No install/post-install scripts declared.Pass
Only part of the dependency tree could be resolved (124 of 128), so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree. View diagnostics → Partial

Provenance & Transparency45

Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL. View diagnostics → Pass
Provenance check failed: no build-provenance attestation is published. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).Pass
Actively maintained (last published 137 days ago).Pass
Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository. See how to fix → Fail

Schema Quality & AI Usability77

AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
Tool/resource definitions use about 1256 tokens (~59/item across 21 items; 21 tools + 0 resources), lean.Pass
Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail

Stability & Change Management0

Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).Unverified

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

Capabilities100

Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass

Unverified: 1 category

A category scored 0 because we could not verify it: a data source with nothing on this package, evidence we could not reach, or a check we could not run. We only credit what we can confirm.
