## 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**: 78/100
  - No malware found by supply-chain analysis.
  - CVE check failed: a known medium-severity CVE affects fast-xml-parser 4.5.7, a direct dependency. A fixed version is available.
  - No install/post-install scripts declared.
  - Only part of the dependency tree could be resolved (100 of 104), 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 118 days ago).
  - Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 85/100
  - 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 499 tokens (~83/item across 6 items; 6 tools + 0 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.

## MCP tools (6)

### `discover_dependencies` (~49 tokens)

Discover Dependencies

Scan the repository for manifest files (requirements.txt, package.json, go.mod, Cargo.toml, pom.xml, *.csproj, Dockerfiles, etc.) and return all pinned dependencies grouped by ecosystem.

### `check_cves` (~113 tokens)

Check CVEs

Check a list of packages against OSV.dev for known vulnerabilities. Returns CVEs above the severity threshold as a numbered list, suppressed/accepted risks, expired acceptances, and a count of below-threshold findings.

Input parameters:

- `min_severity` (string): Minimum severity to surface in detail: CRITICAL, HIGH, MEDIUM, or LOW. If omitted, GhostFree will determine the threshold automatically.
- `packages` (array): Array of packages to check. If omitted, uses packages from the last discover_dependencies call.

### `enrich_cve` (~94 tokens)

Enrich CVE

Fetch enrichment data for a specific CVE ID: CVSS vectors and score from NVD, CWE weakness classification, references, and whether it appears in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog. Gracefully degrades if NVD or KEV are unavailable.

Input parameters:

- `cve_id` (string, required): The CVE ID to enrich, e.g. CVE-2021-44228

### `list_accepted_risks` (~26 tokens)

List Accepted Risks

List all accepted CVE risks, including whether each acceptance has expired.

### `accept_risk` (~171 tokens)

Accept Risk

Record an accepted risk for a CVE, with a reason and mandatory expiry date. Expiry beyond 1 year requires confirm_extended_expiry=true.

Input parameters:

- `confirm_extended_expiry` (boolean): Set to true to confirm an expiry date more than 1 year away
- `cve_id` (string, required): The CVE ID to accept, e.g. CVE-2021-44228
- `cvss_score` (number): CVSS score of the CVE at the time of acceptance (snapshot)
- `expires_on` (string, required): Expiry date in YYYY-MM-DD format. Required.
- `reason` (string, required): Business justification for accepting this risk
- `severity` (string, required): Severity label of the CVE at the time of acceptance (snapshot). Use UNKNOWN if severity is unavailable.

### `remove_accepted_risk` (~46 tokens)

Remove Accepted Risk

Remove a previously accepted risk by its UUID acceptance ID.

Input parameters:

- `acceptance_id` (string, required): The UUID of the accepted risk to remove (from list_accepted_risks)
