## Trust breakdown

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. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

Scored 2026-08-03.

- **Supply Chain Security**: 87/100
  - No malware found by supply-chain analysis.
  - Only part of the dependency tree could be resolved (95 of 99), so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree.
  - No install/post-install scripts declared.
  - Only part of the dependency tree could be resolved (95 of 99), so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree.

  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 23/100
  - Stability observed for 7 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.
- **Tool Coverage**: 89/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 67% of tool parameters carry a description.

## Changelog

Every change recorded for this component, newest first. Days that predate change tracking, or that we cannot explain, say so: "we were watching and nothing happened" and "we were not watching" are different claims.

### 2026-08-03 (score 67, +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.

## MCP tools (8)

### `asc_doctor` (~58 tokens)

Verify the release toolchain end-to-end: ASC API credentials, mac-app directory, fastlane, xcodebuild, and (if creds are present) that the app record exists in App Store Connect. Run this first in any release session.

### `asc_app_status` (~46 tokens)

Snapshot of the app's release state: latest App Store versions with their review states, and recent builds with processing states. Use this to answer 'where is the release right now?'

### `asc_list_builds` (~48 tokens)

List recent uploaded builds and their processing states (PROCESSING → VALID before they can be submitted). Use after an upload to watch for the build becoming VALID.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer)

### `asc_bump_version` (~112 tokens)

Bump the local app version before a build. Increments the build number (CURRENT_PROJECT_VERSION) and optionally sets a new marketing version. Updates every .xcodeproj/project.pbxproj in the project dir, plus project.yml if the project uses xcodegen, so all sources stay in sync.

Input parameters:

- `bump_build` (boolean): Increment the build number
- `marketing_version` (string): New marketing version, e.g. '1.1.0'. Omit to keep the current one.

### `asc_upload_build` (~92 tokens)

Archive, sign, and upload the app to TestFlight via the configured fastlane lane (default: `fastlane beta`; see ASC_FASTLANE_* / ASC_UPLOAD_CMD env vars). Runs asynchronously (5–15 min) — returns a job ID immediately; poll with asc_job_status. Note: if the lane calls increment_build_number you do NOT need asc_bump_version first unless changing the marketing version.

### `asc_job_status` (~65 tokens)

Check a build/upload job started by asc_upload_build. Returns status (running/succeeded/failed) and the tail of the log.

Input parameters:

- `job_id` (string, required): Job ID returned by asc_upload_build
- `log_lines` (integer): How many log lines to include

### `asc_update_metadata` (~133 tokens)

Update App Store listing metadata (description, keywords, what's-new, promotional text) on the currently editable version via the ASC API. If no editable version exists, pass create_version to open a new one.

Input parameters:

- `create_version` (string): If no editable version exists, create one with this version string (e.g. '1.1.0')
- `description` (string)
- `keywords` (string): Comma-separated, 100 chars max total
- `locale` (string)
- `promotional_text` (string)
- `whats_new` (string): Release notes shown in 'What's New'

### `asc_submit_review` (~88 tokens)

Submit the editable App Store version for review: optionally attach a build, then create and submit a review submission. The build must have processingState VALID (check asc_list_builds). This is the point of no return for a release — confirm with the human first.

Input parameters:

- `build_id` (string): Build ID from asc_list_builds to attach to the version. Omit if already attached.
