Category Search and Retrieval
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 Security100
- No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
- No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.Pass
- Runs hatchling.build at install time, a recognised build step with no custom scripting around it. View diagnostics → Pass
- No production dependencies, so there is no dependency health to assess. View diagnostics → Pass
Provenance & Transparency100
- Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL. View diagnostics → Pass
- Cryptographically verified build provenance (signed, bound to renkagod/osint-toolbox-mcp). View diagnostics → Pass
- Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).Pass
- Actively maintained (last published 22 days ago).Pass
- Publishes a security disclosure policy (SECURITY.md).Pass
Schema Quality & AI Usability79
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Tool/resource definitions use about 472 tokens (~94/item across 5 items; 5 tools + 0 resources), lean.Pass
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management77
- Stability observed for 23 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 Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 5 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 6 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).Pass

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 →
crtsh_certificate_search Certificate transparency search ~71

What is the OSINT Toolbox MCP server?
OSINT Toolbox is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.renkagod/osint-toolbox-mcp. Run Sherlock, Maigret, Holehe, GHunt, theHarvester, SpiderFoot and more OSINT tools locally. This page covers its PyPI package (osint-toolbox-mcp).
Is the OSINT Toolbox MCP server safe to use?
OSINT Toolbox scores 93 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 16 October 2026. Its build provenance is signed and verified. 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 OSINT Toolbox MCP server expose?
OSINT Toolbox exposes 5 tools: whois_lookup, dns_lookup, crtsh_certificate_search, wayback_snapshots, osint_toolbox_status. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 419 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Is the OSINT Toolbox MCP server still maintained?
OSINT Toolbox is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 16 October 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
What licence is the OSINT Toolbox MCP server under?
OSINT Toolbox declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
