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: we found no dependency list to check in this bundle: either it runs a compiled binary, whose bundled manifests we do not read, or none of the package.json, requirements.txt, pyproject.toml or uv.lock files it ships for its runtime declares a dependency we can read (a requirements.txt that only points at a setup.py project, a local path, or a nested requirements file we cannot follow counts as none).Unverified
- Install-script risk not yet assessed.Unverified
- Dependency health could not be checked: we found no dependency list to check in this bundle: either it runs a compiled binary, whose bundled manifests we do not read, or none of the package.json, requirements.txt, pyproject.toml or uv.lock files it ships for its runtime declares a dependency we can read (a requirements.txt that only points at a setup.py project, a local path, or a nested requirements file we cannot follow counts as none).Unverified

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.
Every change we have recorded for this component, newest first. Security-relevant changes are always shown. ▲ marks a change for the better, ▼ a change for the worse; unmarked changes are neutral.
- 5 Nov 26 +1
No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 23 to 27. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 7 days of observed history at the previous scan, 8 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

Background: How many MCP packages publish verified provenance →
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 →

Prepare a false positive or false negative report for the PandaWard project. Returns the report and a prefilled GitHub issue link for the human to review and submit; nothing is sent.

Evidence is required: file and line citations inside the project, each with why it shows the verdict; PandaWard reads, hashes and redacts the cited lines itself. The proposal is stored as pending and decides nothing: only a person accepts or rejects it with `pandaward attest <control> --accept|--reject --by <name>`, outside MCP. A FAIL verdict creates no finding; record the concrete problem with pandaward_record_hypothesis.

pandaward_retest ~83
Re-assess after code changes. Lists files changed since the last assessment, then re-runs only the adapters whose inputs changed (others are CARRIED with their previous decisions) unless changed_only is false. Local only; no target network traffic.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |

How do I install the PandaWard MCP server?
PandaWard ships as an MCPB bundle, a single file you download and open in an MCP host that supports MCPB bundles, such as Claude Desktop. The host reads the launch command from the bundle's own manifest, so there is no command to copy. Before opening it, check the file's SHA-256 matches the one the MCP registry declares for it, 39cd7b6d84aedd906741d7f0c0237e8698473bbdab8aacd306cddb944e0a5c8a; the commands to do that are on this page. If it does not match, do not open it.

What is the PandaWard MCP server?
PandaWard is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.ratomirjovanovic/pandaward. Local, evidence-based application security assessment with an evidence ledger and retests.

Is the PandaWard MCP server safe to use?
PandaWard scores 53 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 PandaWard MCP server expose?
PandaWard exposes 15 tools: pandaward_get_status, pandaward_list_coverage_gaps, pandaward_get_control, pandaward_get_findings, pandaward_get_evidence, and 10 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,231 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
What licence is the PandaWard MCP server under?
PandaWard declares the AGPL-3.0-only licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
