Trust breakdown (7 categories)

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 Security32
  • Malware scan not yet available for this package.Unverified
  • CVE check failed: a known high-severity CVE affects jinja2 3.1.4, a direct dependency. A fixed version is available. View diagnostics → Fail
  • Runs setuptools.build_meta at install time, a recognised native-build step with no shell scripting around it. View diagnostics → Pass
  • 1 of 29 dependencies flagged as unhealthy. View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency32
Schema Quality & AI Usability73
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1964 tokens (~140/item across 14 items; 14 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 Management83
  • Stability observed for 25 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
  • Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass
Tool Safety75
  • No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
  • 0 of 1 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation; "run_tests" implies "execute" 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 14 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

MCP tools · 14 exposed · ~1,964 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 →

Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.

import_test_results ~192

Import JUnit XML execution results into the UTF registry. Use this when you have already run tests with pytest / Maven / Go and want to register the results so that generate_report shows real pass/fail rates.

NameTypeReqDescription
frameworkstringFramework label (pytest|jest|...). Default: pytest

register_contracts ~313

Parse test files and register per-method 8-section contract records. This is the UTF registration bridge — it reads LLM-written test files, extracts the per-method 8-section comment blocks, and upserts status=generated rows into the UTF registry. Without this step, generate_report has no Per-Test Contract Detail cards. IMPORTANT — Phase 1, Step ③ of the UTF 3-phase workflow: ① generate_tests (scaffold) ② Write real test methods with per-method TC-{PRJ}-{MODULE}-{NNN} blocks ③ register_contracts ← this tool ④ generate_report (verify contract detail cards) ⑤ pytest --junit-xml=... ⑥ import_test_results ⑦ generate_report (now shows both contract cards AND execution results)

NameTypeReqDescription
frameworkstringOne of pytest|jest|junit5|... Default: pytest
languagestringOne of python|typescript|java|go|... Default: python
project_dirAbsolute path to project root (.utf/utf.db lives here). Defaults to UTF_PROJECT_DIR env var or cwd.
