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 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-who-gho). View diagnostics → Pass
  • Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).Pass
  • Actively maintained (last published 6 days ago).Pass
  • Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository. See how to fix → Fail
Schema Quality & AI Usability76
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 414 tokens (~138/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

MCP tools · 3 exposed · ~359 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 →

Tool Tokens
get_data ~215

Get World Health Organization health statistics for a country and year — life expectancy, immunization coverage, mortality, disease burden, risk factors and health system measures from the Global Health Observatory. Accepts a plain indicator name such as "measles immunization coverage" and a plain country name such as "Kenya"; both are resolved to WHO codes and the response says what it resolved to. If the requested year has no data it returns the latest year that does, and says which.

NameTypeReqDescription
countrystring–Country NAME ("Kenya", "United States") or ISO3 code ("KEN", "USA").
indicatorstringyesIndicator NAME ("measles immunization coverage", "life expectancy at birth") or a GHO code ("mslv", "WHOSIS_000001"). Names are resolved — do not invent a code.
yearstring–Year, e.g. "2020". If that year has no data the latest available year is returned instead, flagged as year_fallback.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get_indicators ~84

Search or list WHO Global Health Observatory indicators. Returns indicator codes and names. Use the indicator code with get_data to retrieve actual values. Example: get_indicators("life expectancy") or get_indicators("malaria")

NameTypeReqDescription
querystring–Optional search keyword to filter indicators (e.g., "mortality", "tuberculosis"). Omit to list all.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

list_countries ~60

Return all WHO-recognized countries with their 3-letter ISO code, display name, and parent region code. Use the ISO codes returned here as the country parameter in get_data (e.g., "USA", "GBR", "JPN").

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.
