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-crawlgraph). View diagnostics → Pass
- Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).Pass
- Actively maintained (last published 3 days ago).Pass
- Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository. See how to fix → Fail
Schema Quality & AI Usability71
- AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 864 tokens (~144/item across 6 items; 6 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 Management20
- Stability observed for 6 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 6 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 7 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

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 →
crawlgraph_backlinks ~203
Referring domains for a target domain from the Common Crawl webgraph (4.4B edges, 120M domains). Returns linking domains ranked by CrawlGraph authority — useful for SEO audits, competitor backlink profiles, link-building gap research, and verifying who is citing a brand. One call = one quota credit.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| _apiKey | string | yes | CrawlGraph API key (cg_live_… Bearer token). |
| domain | string | yes | Target domain to look up (e.g., "example.com"). Bare host, no scheme. |
| limit | number | – | Max linking domains to return (default 1000, max 10000). |
| release_id | string | – | Optional Common Crawl release (e.g., "CC-MAIN-2026-04"). Default = latest. Use crawlgraph_releases to list. |
| sort | string | – | Sort by "authority" (default) or "hosts" (number of distinct linking hosts). |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
crawlgraph_domain_changes ~137
Quarter-over-quarter diff of referring domains for a domain — what was added or lost between two Common Crawl releases. Useful for catching link rot, sudden spikes (PR coverage), and outreach campaign attribution. Counts as one call against the backlinks quota.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| _apiKey | string | yes | CrawlGraph API key. |
| domain | string | yes | Target domain. |
| from | string | – | Older release_id (e.g., "CC-MAIN-2025-51"). Default = previous release. |
| to | string | – | Newer release_id (e.g., "CC-MAIN-2026-04"). Default = latest release. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
crawlgraph_gap_analysis ~145
Backlink gap analysis: find domains linking to your competitors but NOT to you. Submit your domain + 1–5 competitor domains and CrawlGraph runs an async job (typically completes in seconds; longer for large profiles). This tool polls up to ~10s and either returns the full gap list, or — if still running — returns the job_id so you can resume via crawlgraph_gap_status. Counts against the gap-analysis quota when the job is submitted.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| _apiKey | string | yes | CrawlGraph API key. |
| competitor_domains | array | yes | 1–5 competitor domains to compare against. |
| my_domain | string | yes | Your domain (bare host). |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
crawlgraph_gap_outreach_targets ~176
The warm-outreach play: gap_analysis filtered to ONLY the linking domains that link to EVERY competitor you listed but not to you. These are the highest-conviction outreach candidates — every competitor in the set has the link, so the topic/audience is verified. Same async pattern as crawlgraph_gap_analysis (polls up to ~10s; returns job_id if still running). Counts as one gap-analysis quota call.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| _apiKey | string | yes | CrawlGraph API key. |
| competitor_domains | array | yes | 2–5 competitor domains. The filter is strongest with more competitors; 2 is the minimum for "warm outreach" to be meaningful. |
| min_authority | number | – | Optional minimum CrawlGraph authority threshold to filter results client-side. |
| my_domain | string | yes | Your domain. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
crawlgraph_gap_status ~103
Poll a previously-submitted gap analysis job by ID. Use this when crawlgraph_gap_analysis or crawlgraph_gap_outreach_targets returned status=pending with a job_id — call this with the same job_id to retrieve the result once status=completed. Read-only; no quota cost.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| _apiKey | string | yes | CrawlGraph API key. |
| job_id | string | yes | The gap job ID (looks like "gap_a1b2c3"). |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
crawlgraph_releases ~47
List the Common Crawl releases CrawlGraph has indexed (used as release_id in backlinks). Free; not counted against quota.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| _apiKey | string | yes | CrawlGraph API key. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
