Category Health and Science
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 Security100
- No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
- No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.Pass
- No install/post-install scripts declared.Pass
- No production dependencies, so there is no dependency health to assess. View diagnostics → Pass
Provenance & Transparency97
- Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL. View diagnostics → Pass
- Cryptographically verified build provenance (signed, bound to pipeworx-io/mcp-cms). View diagnostics → Pass
- Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).Pass
- Actively maintained (last published 4 days ago).Pass
- Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository. See how to fix → Fail
Schema Quality & AI Usability72
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 460 tokens (~153/item across 3 items; 3 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 Management23
- Stability observed for 7 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 Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 3 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.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 supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass
Every change we have recorded for this component, newest first. Security-relevant changes are always shown. ▲ marks a change for the better, ▼ a change for the worse; unmarked changes are neutral.
- 5 Nov 26 +1
No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 20 to 23. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 6 days of observed history at the previous scan, 7 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

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 →
dataset_info ~71
Metadata for a CMS dataset by datasetId: title, description, total row count, last-modified date, themes/keywords, and downloadable resources (CSV files, data dictionaries). Use after search_datasets to inspect a dataset before pulling rows.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| datasetId | string | yes | Dataset UUID from search_datasets. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_dataset ~207
Pull rows from a CMS dataset by datasetId (UUID from search_datasets). Returns an array of row objects whose keys are the dataset columns. Supports paging (size/offset), full-text keyword search across the dataset, and exact-match column filters via filters: {COLUMN: VALUE} (column names match the keys in returned rows, e.g. {"State": "TX"}).
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| datasetId | string | yes | Dataset UUID from search_datasets, e.g. "9767cb68-8ea9-4f0b-8179-9431abc89f11". |
| filters | object | – | Optional exact-match column filters, e.g. {"State": "TX", "Provider_Type": "Hospital"}. Becomes filter[COLUMN]=VALUE. |
| keyword | string | – | Optional full-text search across all columns. |
| offset | number | – | Row offset for paging (default 0). |
| size | number | – | Rows per page (default 100). |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
search_datasets ~131
Find CMS dataset IDs + titles by keyword. CMS publishes Medicare/Medicaid open data (provider data, spending, enrollment, drug pricing, quality measures, hospitals, nursing homes, ACOs, etc.). Searches the CMS DCAT catalog client-side over each dataset title/description/keywords. Returns the datasetId (UUID) you pass to get_dataset and dataset_info.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| keyword | string | yes | Search term, e.g. "hospital", "drug spending", "nursing home", "enrollment". |
| limit | number | – | Max datasets to return (default 25, max 100). |
No output schema declared.
