Diagnostic detail from the automated scan of this channel: what the scanner observed at each step, so you can see exactly where a check passed or failed. It is informational only and never changes the trust score.

Dependencies 105 packages

105 packages in the resolved dependency tree · 105 deprecated · 37 stale.

The dependency tree was only partially resolved, so these counts may be incomplete.

MCP tools — 14 exposed · ~587 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.
