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. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 634 tokens (~211/item across 3 items; 3 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 0/100
  - Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).
- **Tool Coverage**: 100/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 100% of tool parameters carry a description.

  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 3 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.

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

**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.

## MCP tools (3)

### `generate_image` (~182 tokens)

Generate image

Generate one or more images from a text prompt. Saves full-size PNGs (plus a .json sidecar with the prompt and settings) in the output folder and returns their paths with small previews.

Input parameters:

- `count` (integer): Number of variants to generate (1-4).
- `out_name` (string): File name without extension, relative to the output folder, e.g. "icons/rocket". Defaults to a slug of the prompt.
- `prompt` (string, required): What to draw. Be specific about subject, style, composition and colours.
- `references` (array): Paths of existing images to match the style of (inside the working folder).
- `size` (string): Width x height in px, e.g. "1024x1024" or "1536x1024".
- `transparent` (boolean): Ask for a transparent background.

### `edit_image` (~275 tokens)

Edit image

Change an existing image with a text instruction (e.g. 'make the sky a sunset', 'remove the person on the left', 'turn it into a watercolour', 'remove the background'). The original is never modified; edited copies are saved in the output folder with a .json sidecar, and their paths are returned with small previews.

Input parameters:

- `count` (integer): Number of edited variants (1-4).
- `image` (string, required): Path of the image to edit (inside the working folder).
- `mask` (string): Optional PNG whose transparent areas mark where to edit (openai-api only). Resized to the image if needed.
- `out_name` (string): File name without extension, relative to the output folder. Defaults to "<input name>-edited".
- `prompt` (string, required): The change to make. Say what should change and, if it matters, what must stay the same.
- `references` (array): Extra images the edit uses: an object to insert, or a style to apply (inside the working folder).
- `size` (string): Output size as width x height in px, e.g. "1024x1024". Defaults to the size of the input image.
- `transparent` (boolean): Ask for a transparent background, e.g. for a cutout.

### `generate_set` (~177 tokens)

Generate matching set

Generate several different images that share one style, e.g. a set of icons, stickers, badges, character portraits or story illustrations. Each item gets its own file, named after the item, in one folder. Returns paths and previews.

Input parameters:

- `folder` (string): Folder for the set, relative to the output folder. Defaults to a slug of the style.
- `items` (array, required): The images to make, one per item.
- `references` (array): Existing images whose style the whole set should match (inside the working folder).
- `size` (string): Width x height in px for every image, e.g. "1024x1024".
- `style` (string, required): The look every image shares: medium, palette, rendering, lighting, framing, background.
- `transparent` (boolean): Ask for transparent backgrounds.
