## 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 2026-11-05.

- **Supply Chain Security**: 50/100
  - Malware scan not yet available for this package.
  - No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.
  - Runs hatchling.build at install time, a recognised build step with no custom scripting around it.
  - 2 of 45 dependencies flagged as unhealthy.
- **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 16 days ago).
  - Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 59/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 683 tokens (~170/item across 4 items; 4 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 0/100
  - Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).
- **Tool Coverage**: 71/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 0% of tool parameters carry a description.
  - Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 4 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 5 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).

**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.

## MCP tools (4)

### `search_memories` (~352 tokens)

Search the user's memory: what was rescued from Pieces, plus Claude Code, Claude desktop and Codex sessions, and screen capture.

query:  what to look for. In "meaning" or "hybrid" mode, natural descriptions work
        ("that retry helper with exponential backoff"). In "keyword" mode all words must match;
        FTS5 syntax is accepted: "exact phrase", a OR b, prefix*.
mode:   "hybrid" (default: keyword + meaning, merged), "keyword" (exact words, names, ids),
        or "meaning" (related ideas even when wording differs).
source: "summaries" (AI-written session summaries, best for 'what was I doing'),
        "events" (raw screen/document captures, and text read by screen capture; best for specific details),
        "screen" (the windows you had open, by app and title; keyword-only),
        "chats" (Pieces chats and Claude Code / Claude desktop / Codex sessions; the conversation name says which),
        "snippets" (saved code/text snippets),
        "web" (pages you opened, from your browsers' history; best for 'when did I look at…'),
        or "all".
since/until: optional ISO dates ("2026-10-01") or UTC times ("2026-10-01T14:30").
Returns ranked hits with ids; use get_memory(id) for the full text.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer)
- `mode` (string)
- `query` (string, required)
- `since` (string)
- `source` (string)
- `until` (string)

Output parameters:

- `result` (string)

### `get_memory` (~53 tokens)

Full text of one memory (summary, event, chat, snippet, web page, or screen window) by id from search_memories or timeline.

Input parameters:

- `id` (string, required)
- `max_chars` (integer)

Output parameters:

- `result` (string)

### `timeline` (~139 tokens)

Chronological view of a date range — answers 'what was I working on in/around <date>'.

Lists Pieces' session summaries and, when `inkvault digest` has run, a one-paragraph digest per day, a line per day with browsing, and a Screen section: the windows you had open, from screen capture, live (including right now).
since/until: ISO dates, e.g. since="2025-10-20", until="2025-10-27". Use get_memory(id) to read one.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer)
- `since` (string, required)
- `until` (string)

Output parameters:

- `result` (string)

### `memory_stats` (~24 tokens)

Overview of the vault: counts, date ranges, and most-captured apps.

Output parameters:

- `result` (string)
