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 Security66
- No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
- CVE check failed: an unpatched critical CVE affects this package; the score is capped at 0. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- Declares code that runs automatically (postinstall) and that we could not recognise. It may be perfectly ordinary, but we have not established what it does. View diagnostics → Partial
- 96 of 246 dependencies flagged as unhealthy (1 deprecated). View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency35
- Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL. View diagnostics → Pass
- Provenance check failed: no build-provenance attestation is published. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- License check failed: the license (Elastic-2.0) isn't a recognized OSI-approved license. See how to fix → Fail
- Actively maintained (last published 109 days ago).Pass
- Publishes a security disclosure policy (SECURITY.md).Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability68
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 438 tokens (~219/item across 2 items; 2 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 Management90
- Stability observed for 27 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 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" 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 2 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities20
- Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2024-11-05; the latest is 2026-07-28. See how to fix → Fail

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 →
find ~339
Dual-mode tool discovery: (1) SEARCH MODE: Use with description parameter for intelligent vector search - describe your task as user story for best results: "I want to save configuration to a file", "I need to analyze logs for errors". (2) LISTING MODE: Call without description parameter for paginated browsing of all available MCPs and tools with depth control (0=tool names only, 1=tool names + descriptions, 2=full details with parameters).
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| confidence_threshold | number | – | Minimum confidence level for search results (0.0-1.0, default: 0.3). Examples: 0.1=show all, 0.3=balanced, 0.5=strict, 0.7=very precise. Lower values show more loosely related tools, higher values sh… |
| depth | number | – | Information depth level: 0=Tool names only, 1=Tool names + descriptions, 2=Full details with parameters (default, recommended for AI). Higher depth shows more complete information. |
| description | string | – | SEARCH MODE: Search query as user story ("I want to save a file") or MCP name to filter results. LISTING MODE: Omit this parameter entirely to browse all available MCPs and tools with pagination. |
| limit | number | – | Maximum number of tools to return per page (default: 5 for search, 20 for list). Use higher values to see more results at once. |
| page | number | – | Page number for pagination (default: 1). Increment to see more results when total results exceed limit. |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
run ~99
Execute tools from managed MCP servers. Requires exact format "mcp_name:tool_name" with required parameters. System provides suggestions if tool not found and automatic fallbacks when tools fail.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| dry_run | boolean | – | Preview what the tool will do without actually executing it (default: false) |
| parameters | object | – | Parameters to pass to the tool |
| tool | string | yes | Tool to execute. Format: "mcp_name:tool_name" |
