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
  • 43 of 142 dependencies flagged as unhealthy (1 deprecated). View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency19
Schema Quality & AI Usability74
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass

MCP tools · 3 exposed · ~306 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
coach ~130

Express an idea naturally in a target language. Returns 3 socially-calibrated options with romanization, literal meanings, tone notes, and cultural context. Each option is numbered for use with the speak tool.

NameTypeReqDescription
