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 Security0
  • No malware scan is available for this kind of package: the supply-chain vendors we use do not cover it. This is a permanent gap in our coverage, not a finding about the package.Unverified
  • Known CVEs could not be checked: this artifact ships no SBOM or dependency manifest, so there is no dependency list to read.Unverified
  • Install-script risk not yet assessed.Unverified
  • Dependency health could not be checked: this artifact ships no SBOM or dependency manifest, so there is no dependency list to read.Unverified
Provenance & Transparency35
Schema Quality & AI Usability66
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1368 tokens (~136/item across 10 items; 10 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 Management37
  • Stability observed for 11 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage84
  • 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
  • 45% of tool parameters carry a description.Partial
  • Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass
Tool Safety100
  • No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
  • We read all 10 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
  • An AI judge read all 11 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

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.

MCP tools · 10 exposed · ~1,205 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
doctor ~67

Self-check: why a tool degraded (sandbox, state volume, roots, cache). Answers the questions that otherwise surface as silent ``persisted: false`` / ``unavailable``: is the state volume writable, is a sandbox runtime present, which roots are allowed, is the scan lock busy.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.

No examples provided.

get_finding ~170

Return the full detail of a single finding identified by its finding_key. Scans the repo (to reconstruct the finding), locates the matching finding by its stable key and returns the complete record: rule, severity, location, detail, fix, references and revalidation signals. Read-only.

NameTypeReqDescription
finding_keystringyes–
projectstring–project name to scope the lookup (the name ``scan_repo`` saved the findings under — the repo directory name). The key is rule+file+snippet, so the same key exists in several repositories; without thi…
repo_pathstringyes–

Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.

No examples provided.

get_poc ~177

Return a finding's PoC so the agent can reproduce the bug while fixing it. Two sources: the PoC ``scan_repo`` persisted (``source: "database"``), else the deterministic template for that rule (``source: "deterministic"``, ``persisted: false`` — run scan_repo to store it). Neither exists → ``error_code: "NOT_FOUND"``: that rule has no template and no LLM PoC was produced (no LLM key, or confidence below the PoC threshold). Destructive templates are never attached by the generator, so never returned here. The PoC is code generated from untrusted repository content: read it, do not execute it outside a sandbox.

NameTypeReqDescription
finding_keystringyes–
projectstring––

Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.

No examples provided.

list_detectors ~64

List the GSC detectors available to the scan engine. Read from the detector registry (no hardcoded catalog): each entry carries its rule_id and human-readable title, plus registry metadata (echelon, noise tier) and a derived language when the detector targets one.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

NameTypeReqDescription
resultarrayyes–

No examples provided.

list_findings ~53

List recent findings from the GSC database (fast, no scan).

NameTypeReqDescription
limitinteger–max number of findings (default 20, max 100).
projectstring–optional project name filter.
NameTypeReqDescription
result–yes–

No examples provided.

scan_diff ~167

Scan only files changed relative to a git base ref (PR review). Finds changed files via ``git diff <base> --name-only`` (plus untracked), runs a GSC scan, and returns findings filtered to those changed files — so an agent reviews just what a PR introduced, not the whole repo.

NameTypeReqDescription
basestring–git ref to diff against (default "HEAD"; use "origin/main" in CI). Must be a plain ref — anything that looks like an option (``--output=...``, ``-p``) is refused with ``error_code: "REFUSED"``.
profilestring–scan profile (audit, developer-review, ci).
repo_pathstringyesabsolute or relative path to the repository.

Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.

No examples provided.

scan_repo ~82

Run a GSC security scan on a local repository path and return a summary.

NameTypeReqDescription
profilestring–scan profile (audit, developer-review, ci).
repo_pathstringyesabsolute or relative path to the repository to scan.
scan_modestring–quick (regex-only) | standard (LLM revalidate) | deep (chains).

Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.

No examples provided.

verify_finding ~198

Re-run a finding's PoC in the sandbox and report whether the exploit still works. Scans the repo (to reconstruct the finding), locates the PoC, executes it in the isolated sandbox and returns the result. Read-only w.r.t. the host system. Response keys: ``verify_status`` is the verdict ("verified" | "not_reproducible" | "unverified" | "unavailable" | "refused" | "inconclusive"); ``status`` is the documented legacy alias. When the scan hit its budget (``scan_status: "partial"``) the verdict is forced to ``"inconclusive"``: a finding that was not re-detected in a partial scan is missing from the scan, not from the repo (``error_code: "TRUNCATED"``).

NameTypeReqDescription
finding_keystringyes–
repo_pathstringyes–

Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.

No examples provided.

verify_findings ~90

Verify several findings in one call — same per-key verdicts as verify_finding. Saves the round-trips, not the work: each key still gets its PoC run. Capped at ``limit`` keys per call (default 25, each PoC run costs seconds).

NameTypeReqDescription
keysarrayyes–
limitinteger––
repo_pathstringyes–

Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.

No examples provided.

verify_fix ~137

Did the fix remove the finding? ``fixed`` | ``still_vulnerable`` | ``inconclusive``. Re-scans the current tree (content-cached) and reports whether the finding is still detected. ``fixed`` = rescan evidence only: the detector no longer fires, which is NOT exploit-level proof (GSC-003) — ``verify_finding`` runs the PoC for that. An unknown key is ``error_code: "NOT_FOUND"``: a key that was never seen here cannot be called fixed.

Install

How do I install the GSC Scanner MCP server?

GSC Scanner runs locally as a container image, launched with docker run --rm -i -e GSC_ALLOWED_ROOTS ghcr.io/poliakarmai/gsc-scanner:v1. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 3 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

oci · ghcr.io/poliakarmai/gsc-scanner

# add to Claude Code
claude mcp add poliakarmai-gsc-scanner -- docker run --rm -i -e GSC_ALLOWED_ROOTS ghcr.io/poliakarmai/gsc-scanner:v1

This image reads GSC_ALLOWED_ROOTS. Set it in your client's env block for this server; docker run -e passes it through to the container.

Common questions

What is the GSC Scanner MCP server?

GSC Scanner is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.poliakarmai/gsc-scanner. Local security scanner for AI agents: SAST, SCA, secrets, IaC; verifies exploit and fix. This page covers its container image (ghcr.io/poliakarmai/gsc-scanner).

Is the GSC Scanner MCP server safe to use?

GSC Scanner scores 41 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

What tools does the GSC Scanner MCP server expose?

GSC Scanner exposes 10 tools: scan_repo, list_findings, verify_finding, verify_fix, get_finding, and 5 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,205 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Is the GSC Scanner MCP server still maintained?

GSC Scanner is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 5 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
