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 Security89
  • No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
  • CVE check failed: a known high-severity CVE affects uuid 10.0.0, reached via dockerode > uuid. A fixed version is available. View diagnostics → Fail
  • No install/post-install scripts declared.Pass
  • 58 of 157 dependencies flagged as unhealthy (1 deprecated). View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency45
Schema Quality & AI Usability76
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
  • Tool/resource definitions use about 322 tokens (~32/item across 10 items; 10 tools + 0 resources), lean.Pass
  • Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management93
  • Stability observed for 28 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
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
Tool Safety75
  • No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
  • 0 of 3 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation; "remove_container" implies "remove" and declares no destructiveHint at all, which the MCP spec reads as destructive by default. See how to fix → Fail
  • An AI judge read all 10 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
  • Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass

MCP tools · 10 exposed · ~322 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. 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 →
