Category Security
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. How we score → Why this is hard to score →
Supply Chain Security100
- No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
- No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.Pass
- Runs hatchling.build at install time, a recognised build step with no custom scripting around it. View diagnostics → Pass
- 1 of 28 dependencies flagged as unhealthy. View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency32
- Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL. View diagnostics → Pass
- Provenance check failed: no build-provenance attestation is published. See how to fix → View diagnostics → Fail
- License check failed: the license (MIT AND CC-BY-NC-4.0) isn't a recognized OSI-approved license. See how to fix → Fail
- Actively maintained (last published 7 days ago).Pass
- Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository. See how to fix → Fail
Schema Quality & AI Usability76
- 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).Pass
- AI-judged instruction clarity (fair).Partial
- Tool/resource definitions use about 551 tokens (~78/item across 7 items; 5 tools + 2 resources), lean.Pass
- Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management0
- Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).Unverified
Tool Coverage71
- 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).Pass
- 0% of tool parameters carry a description.Fail
- Structured output schemas are declared (100% of tools); any adoption earns full credit.Pass
Tool Safety100
- No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
- We read all 5 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 7 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
- Implements a current MCP spec version (2026-07-28).Pass
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.
Every change we have recorded for this component, newest first. Security-relevant changes are always shown. ▲ marks a change for the better, ▼ a change for the worse; unmarked changes are neutral.

Provenance No attestation
The registry publishes no build provenance for this version, so there is nothing to verify.

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 →
check_message ~95
Check a text before acting on it: format, personal data (always) and safety (if time allows). Returns the verdict ('allow', 'redact' or 'block'), the reasons, the redacted text when personal data was found, whether the safety classifier ran, and the timing against the deadline. The original text is never echoed back.

Structured output declared, but exposes no named fields.
No examples provided.
decision_matrix ~140
Which checking policy a pipeline needs at a given mean load (the project's decision matrix). traffic: 'even', 'random' or 'bursty'. peak_factor: busiest-hour ratio q (1 = steady). recall: the detector's recall with no queue; target: required share caught in time; cost_share: the detector's share of checking cost; load: mean arrivals ÷ capacity.

recent_decisions ~50
The latest governance decisions, newest last: source, verdict, kinds of personal data found, whether the classifier ran, and timing. The checked text is never included.

simulate_load ~114
Race 'check everything' against the deadline-aware guard with measured check costs. traffic: 'steady', 'rush_hour' or 'real_chatbot' (real WildChat timings). Returns, for each guard, the final lag, harmful messages caught in time, the share of PII checks on time and the share of classifier checks skipped.

What is the Governance Gateway MCP server?
Governance Gateway is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.tanishq-ctrl/governance-gateway. Deadline-aware governance for AI agents: PII scan always, safety check if it fits the deadline. This page covers its PyPI package (governance-gateway).
Is the Governance Gateway MCP server safe to use?
Governance Gateway scores 66 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 4 November 2026. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.
What tools does the Governance Gateway MCP server expose?
Governance Gateway exposes 5 tools: check_message, governance_status, decision_matrix, simulate_load, recent_decisions. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 429 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Is the Governance Gateway MCP server still maintained?
Governance Gateway is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 4 November 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 Governance Gateway MCP server under?
Governance Gateway declares the MIT AND CC-BY-NC-4.0 licence, which is not on the OSI-approved list. Read the terms before using it at work, and note this covers the source only, not the cost of any service it calls.
