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 → Why this is hard to score →
Supply Chain Security49
- Malware scan not yet available for this package.Unverified
- Known CVEs were checked across the 54 of 55 dependencies we could resolve, so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree.Partial
- Runs hatchling.build at install time, a recognised build step with no custom scripting around it. View diagnostics → Pass
- Dependency health was assessed across the 54 of 55 dependencies we could resolve, so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree. View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency100
- Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL. View diagnostics → Pass
- Cryptographically verified build provenance (signed, bound to musaddiq-dev/aws-cli-mcp-server). View diagnostics → Pass
- Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).Pass
- Actively maintained (last published 165 days ago).Pass
- Publishes a security disclosure policy (SECURITY.md).Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability78
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 539 tokens (~134/item across 4 items; 4 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management100
- No destabilizing schema changes in the last 30 days.Pass
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 (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
- All 1 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 4 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).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 →
call_aws Execute AWS CLI Command ~264
Execute AWS CLI commands with validation and error handling. This is the primary tool for executing AWS CLI commands. Use this when you know the specific AWS service and operation you want to perform. Key points: - Commands MUST start with "aws" and follow AWS CLI syntax - Default region: us-east-1 (override with --region parameter) - Working directory: /tmp/aws-mcp-work - Use absolute paths for files Command restrictions: - DO NOT use shell pipes (|), redirects (>, >>, <), or command substitution ($()) - DO NOT use shell variables or environment variables - DO NOT use relative paths for file operations Examples: - "aws ec2 describe-instances" - List EC2 instances - "aws s3 ls" - List S3 buckets - "aws lambda list-functions" - List Lambda functions - "aws iam list-users" - List IAM users - "aws cloudwatch describe-alarms" - List CloudWatch alarms Returns: Dictionary with success status, output data, and error information
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| cli_command | string | yes | The complete AWS CLI command to execute. MUST start with 'aws' |
| max_results | – | – | Optional limit for number of results (useful for pagination) |
Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.
No examples provided.
get_aws_regions Get AWS Regions ~31
Get a list of available AWS regions. Returns: Dictionary with success status and list of AWS regions
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.
No examples provided.
get_caller_identity Get Caller Identity ~55
Get the AWS identity of the current caller. Returns information about the IAM user or role whose credentials are used to call the operation. Returns: Dictionary with success status and caller identity (Account, ARN, UserId)
Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.
Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.
No examples provided.
suggest_aws_commands Suggest AWS CLI Commands ~189
Suggest AWS CLI commands based on a natural language query. Use this tool when you're unsure about the exact AWS CLI command syntax or want to explore available commands for a specific task. Best practices for query formulation: 1. Include the AWS service name (EC2, S3, Lambda, etc.) 2. Describe the action you want to perform 3. Include any relevant context or constraints Query examples: - "List all running EC2 instances in us-east-1" - "Get the size of my S3 bucket named 'my-backup-bucket'" - "List all IAM users with AdministratorAccess policy" - "Show me all Lambda functions in my account" - "Create a new security group for SSH access" Returns: Dictionary with success status, query, and list of suggested commands
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| query | string | yes | Natural language description of what you want to accomplish |
Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.
