## 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.
- **Provenance & Transparency**: 45/100
  - Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL.
  - Provenance check failed: no build-provenance attestation is published.
  - Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).
  - Actively maintained (last published 211 days ago).
  - Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 82/100
  - 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 613 tokens (~43/item across 14 items; 7 tools + 7 resources), lean.
  - 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**: 100/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 100% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (7)

### `analyze_code` (~63 tokens)

Analyze code for security issues, errors, deceptive patterns, and placeholders. Returns a structured analysis with issues and strengths.

Input parameters:

- `code` (string, required): The source code to analyze
- `filename` (string, required): The filename (used to detect language). Example: 'app.ts'

### `generate_report` (~56 tokens)

Analyze code and generate a detailed HTML report with visual indicators for issues and strengths.

Input parameters:

- `code` (string, required): The source code to analyze
- `filename` (string, required): The filename (used to detect language). Example: 'app.ts'

### `check_security` (~48 tokens)

Check code for security vulnerabilities only (hardcoded secrets, SQL injection, XSS, etc.)

Input parameters:

- `code` (string, required): The source code to check
- `filename` (string, required): The filename

### `check_deceptive_patterns` (~52 tokens)

Check for code patterns that hide errors or create false confidence (empty catches, silent failures, etc.)

Input parameters:

- `code` (string, required): The source code to check
- `filename` (string, required): The filename

### `check_placeholders` (~48 tokens)

Check for placeholder code, dummy data, TODO/FIXME comments, and incomplete implementations

Input parameters:

- `code` (string, required): The source code to check
- `filename` (string, required): The filename

### `analyze_patterns` (~137 tokens)

Input parameters:

- `code` (string, required): The source code to analyze
- `filename` (string, required): The filename (used to detect language)
- `level` (string): Pattern level to analyze: 'architectural' (system structure), 'design' (GoF patterns), 'code' (implementation idioms), or 'all' (default)
- `query` (string): Optional natural language query to focus analysis (e.g., 'how is error handling done?')

### `analyze_design_patterns` (~72 tokens)

Focused analysis of Gang of Four (GoF) design patterns in code. Detects Singleton, Factory, Observer, Strategy, and other classic patterns with confidence levels and implementation details.

Input parameters:

- `code` (string, required): The source code to analyze
- `filename` (string, required): The filename (used to detect language)
