## 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 2026-09-29.

- **Supply Chain Security**: 73/100
  - No malware found by supply-chain analysis.
  - CVE check failed: an unpatched critical CVE affects this package; the score is capped at 0.
  - No install/post-install scripts declared.
  - Dependency health was assessed across the 400 of 422 dependencies we could resolve, 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 3 days ago).
  - Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 79/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Tool/resource definitions use about 3525 tokens (~92/item across 38 items; 38 tools + 0 resources), lean.
  - 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**: 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.
- **Tool Safety**: 75/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - 0 of 3 tool(s) whose name or description implies an irreversible operation declare an MCP destructiveHint annotation; "revoke_passport" implies "revoke" and declares no destructiveHint at all, which the MCP spec reads as destructive by default.
  - An AI judge read all 39 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 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.

## Common questions

### What is the AgentBadge MCP server?

AgentBadge is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.spreadzp/agentbadge. AgentBadge MCP, agent-readiness scan, passport, discovery, marketplace and circle-payments tools. This page covers its npm package (@agentbadge/mcp).

### What tools does the AgentBadge MCP server expose?

AgentBadge exposes 38 tools: request_passport, upload_image, verify_passport, get_passport, list_passports, and 33 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 3,458 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the AgentBadge MCP server still maintained?

AgentBadge is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 29 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

### What licence is the AgentBadge MCP server under?

AgentBadge declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
