- No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
- Only part of the dependency tree could be resolved (120 of 124), so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree.Partial
- No install/post-install scripts declared.Pass
- Only part of the dependency tree could be resolved (120 of 124), so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree. View diagnostics → Partial

Dependencies 120 packages
120 packages in the resolved dependency tree · 118 deprecated · 32 stale.
The dependency tree was only partially resolved, so these counts may be incomplete.
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.
