66 Trust /100
Trust breakdown (6 categories)

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 →

Supply Chain Security100
  • 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
  • 0 of 3 dependencies flagged as unhealthy. View diagnostics → Pass
Provenance & Transparency45
Schema Quality & AI Usability77
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 895 tokens (~127/item across 7 items; 7 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params. See how to fix → Fail
  • 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 Coverage67
  • 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
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.

MCP tools · 7 exposed · ~657 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.

Tool Tokens
ssh_close ~47

Close the remote shell and SSH connection, clean its private temporary directory, and invalidate the id. Close a dirty session and call ssh_open for a clean environment.

NameTypeReqDescription
idstringyes

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

ssh_hosts ~94

List allowed OpenSSH Host aliases discovered from the local ssh_config (and explicit allowlist). Returns only safe connection metadata: alias, hostname, user, port, proxy_jump. Never returns private keys, IdentityFile paths, agent sockets, or ProxyCommand. Pass reload=true after editing ~/.ssh/config to re-parse without restarting the MCP server. Use an alias from this list with ssh_open.

NameTypeReqDescription
reloadboolean

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

ssh_interrupt ~50

Send Ctrl-C to the current foreground process group and wait for the shell protocol to recover. The session is kept only when recovery is confirmed. Returns nothing_to_interrupt when idle.

NameTypeReqDescription
idstringyes

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

ssh_list ~46

List all live sessions with host, cwd, state, last exit code, idle time, idle-reap countdown, and connection capacity. Use this to recover valid ids; never invent one.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

ssh_open ~82

Open a new persistent remote bash shell for an allowed ssh_config Host alias from ssh_hosts. Each call creates a clean session with a new id. Credentials come only from local OpenSSH configuration/agent; passwords and private keys are never accepted as arguments and must not be read from disk by the model.

NameTypeReqDescription
hoststringyes
namestring

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

ssh_peek ~149

Observe the current foreground command and its latest output without starting another command. When status=running, optional wait_sec (default 0) long-polls this MCP call until the command finishes or the wait expires—prefer a positive wait_sec over busy-looping. wait_sec never stops the remote command. Returns the newest lines in chronological order, limited independently for stdout and stderr; lines defaults to 50 and is capped to protect model context. Use after ssh_run returns status=running. When idle, returns immediately with cwd, last exit code, and the latest lines from the completed command.

NameTypeReqDescription
idstringyes
linesinteger
wait_secnumber

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

ssh_run ~189

Start a non-interactive command in the same persistent shell identified by id. cwd and environment changes persist. The call waits at most wait_sec (default 10 seconds); if the command is still active it returns status=running without stopping it. Commands have no automatic execution timeout by default. Only an explicitly provided timeout_sec sends Ctrl-C at that deadline. Never retry a running command: poll with ssh_peek(wait_sec=...) so the MCP call blocks until idle or the wait expires; do not spam peeks with wait_sec=0. Call ssh_interrupt to stop it, or open another session for concurrent work. Only one foreground command may run per id. Do not use vim, top, password prompts, or other interactive TUI/input flows.
