Trust breakdown (7 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 → Why this is hard to score →

Supply Chain Security23
  • Malware scan not yet available for this package.Unverified
  • Known CVEs were checked across the 97 of 97 dependencies we could resolve, so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree.Partial
  • No install/post-install scripts declared.Pass
  • 31 of 97 dependencies flagged as unhealthy. View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency45
Schema Quality & AI Usability76
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1244 tokens (~138/item across 9 items; 9 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 Management43
  • Stability observed for 13 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 9 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
  • An AI judge read all 9 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass
Capabilities100
  • Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass

MCP tools · 9 exposed · ~1,244 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
license_activate ~42

Activate a Pro license key (format MCPL1.xxx.yyy). Verified offline and saved locally.

NameTypeReqDescription
keystringyesLicense key from the checkout confirmation page

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

license_status ~23

Show whether this server runs in free or Pro mode and where to upgrade.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

zip_add ~183

Call this tool to add files to an existing archive. The archive is rebuilt from its entries and written tmp-then-rename, so a failure part way leaves the original file exactly as it was.

NameTypeReqDescription
levelintegerDeflate level 0 to 9 for the new entries, default 6
passwordstringNot supported. Passing it is refused rather than ignored
pathstringyesPath to the existing .zip file
pathsarrayyesFiles to add, each stored under its own file name. A directory contributes its tree under its own name
prefixstringPut the new entries under this folder inside the archive, for example "invoices"
replacebooleanReplace an entry whose name is already in the archive. Default false: a name clash is refused and nothing is changed

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

zip_bundle_month ~160

Call this tool to zip one month of invoices, quotes and exports written by the sibling servers into their default output folders. Best effort: it names every folder it looked in and what it found.

NameTypeReqDescription
dry_runbooleanReport what would go in and write nothing
monthstringMonth as YYYY-MM. Default: this month. Files are chosen by their modification date
out_pathstringWhere to write the .zip. Default: <data dir>/bundles/<month>.zip
overwritebooleanReplace out_path if it exists. Default false
serversarrayOnly these sibling servers: invoice, quotes, expense-tracker, docx, resume. Default: all five

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

zip_create ~272

Call this tool to pack files or a whole directory (with glob patterns) into a new .zip at out_path. Entry names are always relative, so the archive cannot write outside where it is unpacked.

NameTypeReqDescription
dirstringPack this directory's tree; entry names are relative to it
excludearrayDrop entries matching one of these globs, applied after patterns
levelintegerDeflate level 0 to 9, default 6. 0 stores without compressing
out_pathstringyesWhere to write the .zip. A directory, a missing parent or an existing file without overwrite is refused before anything is packed
overwritebooleanReplace out_path if a file is already there. Default false: an existing file is never overwritten
passwordstringNot supported. Passing it is refused rather than ignored, so no one believes an archive is encrypted when it is not
pathsarrayFiles to pack, each stored under its own file name. A directory here contributes its whole tree under its own name
patternsarrayOnly entries matching one of these globs (* and ? inside a segment, ** across segments; a pattern with no slash also matches the file name at any depth)

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

zip_extract ~251

Call this tool to unpack an archive into out_dir. Traversal, absolute-path and symlink entries are refused, a size and ratio cap stops a zip bomb, and dry_run reports exactly what would be written.

NameTypeReqDescription
dry_runbooleanReport what would be written, byte counts included, and write nothing
max_rationumberRefuse an entry whose uncompressed/compressed ratio is above this. Default 100
max_total_mbnumberRefuse if the selected entries declare more than this uncompressed. Default 1024
out_dirstringyesDirectory to unpack into. It is created if missing; every file written is checked to land inside it
overwritebooleanReplace files that already exist in out_dir. Default false: the whole extraction is refused if any would be replaced
pathstringyesPath to the .zip file
patternsarrayOnly entries matching one of these globs (* and ? inside a segment, ** across segments)
skip_unsafebooleanSkip the dangerous entries and extract the rest, naming what was skipped. Default false: one bad entry refuses the whole archive

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

zip_extract_text ~115

Call this tool to read one text entry out of an archive without unpacking anything: give the entry name and the text comes back inline. Binary entries are refused by name rather than printed as noise.

NameTypeReqDescription
entrystringyesExact entry name, as zip_list prints it. A glob is accepted when it matches exactly one entry
max_charsintegerStop after this many characters (default 200000). The answer says when it was cut
pathstringyesPath to the .zip file

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

zip_history ~55

List the archives this server created, newest first, with their entry counts and sizes, plus how many of this month's free allowance are left.

NameTypeReqDescription
limitintegerHow many rows to show, newest first (default 20)

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

zip_list ~143

Call this tool to list an archive's entries with sizes, compressed sizes and ratios, and to flag what is dangerous in it: absolute paths, .., symlinks, encrypted entries, duplicate names and compression bombs.

NameTypeReqDescription
limitintegerHow many entries to print, largest first (default 50). The totals always cover every entry
max_rationumberFlag an entry whose uncompressed/compressed ratio is above this. Default 100
pathstringyesPath to the .zip file. Read-only: the archive is never modified and nothing is extracted
patternsarrayOnly entries matching one of these globs

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.
