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
  • 34 of 111 dependencies flagged as unhealthy. View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency32
Schema Quality & AI Usability73
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass

  • Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management83
  • Stability observed for 25 of 30 days with no destabilising changes; credit accrues until the full window elapses.Partial
Tool Coverage100
  • 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
  • 100% of tool parameters carry a description.Pass
Tool Safety100
  • No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
  • We read all 2 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
  • An AI judge read all 2 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass

MCP tools · 2 exposed · ~165 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
fetch_optimized_data ~110

Fetches any API or Web URL and returns a 90% token-optimized 'Skin'. Supports BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) for private data.
