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 →

Supply Chain Security87
  • No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
  • Only part of the dependency tree could be resolved (95 of 99), so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree.Partial
  • No install/post-install scripts declared.Pass

Provenance & Transparency45
Schema Quality & AI Usability66
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
  • Tool/resource definitions use about 783 tokens (~55/item across 14 items; 14 tools + 0 resources), lean.Pass
  • Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management0
  • Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).Unverified
Tool Coverage89
  • 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
  • 67% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
Capabilities100
  • Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass

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.
