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 Security98
  • 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
  • 32 of 100 dependencies flagged as unhealthy. View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency97

MCP tools · 14 exposed · ~1,387 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
check-railway-status ~43

Check whether the Railway CLI is installed and if the user is logged in. This tool helps agents verify the Railway CLI setup before attempting to use other Railway tools.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

NameTypeReqDescription
servicestringThe name of the service to generate the domain for (optional)
workspacePathstringyesThe path to the workspace to generate domain for

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

get-logs ~400

Get build or deployment logs for the currently linked Railway project. This will only pull the latest successful deployment by default, so if you need to inspect a failed build, you'll need to supply a deployment ID. You can optionally specify a deployment ID, service, and environment. If no deployment ID is provided, it will get logs from the latest deployment. The 'lines' and 'filter' parameters require Railway CLI v4.9.0+. Use 'lines' to limit the number of log lines (disables streaming) and 'filter' to search logs by terms or attributes (e.g., '@level:error', 'user', '@level:warn AND rate limit'). For older CLI versions, these parameters will be ignored and logs will stream.

NameTypeReqDescription
deploymentIdstringDeployment ID to pull logs from. Omit to pull from latest deployment
environmentstringEnvironment to view logs from (defaults to linked environment)
filterstringFilter logs by search terms or attributes. Requires Railway CLI v4.9.0+. Examples: 'error', '@level:error', '@level:warn AND rate limit', 'user login', '@status:500'. See https://docs.railway.com/gui…
jsonbooleanJSON provides structured log data with more information (e.g. timestamps) but uses more tokens. Defaults to false to save tokens. Set to true for more detailed logs.
linesnumberNumber of log lines to return (disables streaming). Requires Railway CLI v4.9.0+. Useful for searching through recent logs.
logTypestringyesType of logs to retrieve: 'build' for build logs or 'deploy' for deployment logs
