## Trust breakdown

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)

Scored 2026-11-05.

- **Supply Chain Security**: 100/100
  - No malware found by supply-chain analysis.
  - No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.
  - Runs hatchling.build at install time, a recognised build step with no custom scripting around it.
  - 1 of 32 dependencies flagged as unhealthy.
- **Provenance & Transparency**: 71/100
  - Repository check failed: the declared repository URL returned HTTP 404.
  - Cryptographically verified build provenance (signed, bound to PacketFabric/public-mcp).
  - Clear OSI-approved license (MPL-2.0).
  - Actively maintained (last published 15 days ago).
  - Security-disclosure policy not yet verified: we couldn't inspect the source repository.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 65/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1782 tokens (~111/item across 16 items; 16 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 70/100
  - Stability observed for 21 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.

  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 73% of tool parameters carry a description.
  - Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 16 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 17 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).

## Common questions

### What is the PacketFabric MCP server?

PacketFabric is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.PacketFabric/packetfabric-mcp. Query and manage PacketFabric NaaS: ports, virtual circuits, cloud routers, pricing, metrics. This page covers its PyPI package (packetfabric-mcp).

### Is the PacketFabric MCP server safe to use?

PacketFabric scores 83 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 5 November 2026. Its build provenance is signed and verified. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

### What tools does the PacketFabric MCP server expose?

PacketFabric exposes 16 tools: pf_list_api_areas, pf_search_endpoints, pf_describe_endpoint, pf_call_endpoint, pf_get_account, and 11 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,587 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the PacketFabric MCP server still maintained?

PacketFabric is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 5 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

### What licence is the PacketFabric MCP server under?

PacketFabric declares the MPL-2.0 licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.

### What did VerifyMCP test on the PacketFabric MCP server?

VerifyMCP ran 15 checks on PacketFabric, covering Malware scan, Known CVEs, Install scripts, Dependency health and 11 more. One item could not be completed, a gap on our side rather than a finding about PacketFabric: Security disclosure. Endpoint Security and Transport & Reachability do not apply to a PyPI package, so they were not tested. The score does not measure everything, and the scoring documentation lists what it leaves out.
