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 Security87
  • No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
  • Only part of the dependency tree could be resolved (95 of 99), so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree.Partial
  • No install/post-install scripts declared.Pass

Provenance & Transparency97
  • Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL. View diagnostics → Pass
  • Cryptographically verified build provenance (signed, bound to thriftell/budgetary-clients). View diagnostics → Pass
  • Clear OSI-approved license (Apache-2.0).Pass
  • Actively maintained (last published 11 days ago).Pass
  • Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository. See how to fix → Fail
Schema Quality & AI Usability71
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
  • Tool/resource definitions use about 135 tokens (~135/item across 1 items; 1 tools + 0 resources), lean.Pass
  • Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail
Stability & Change Management23
  • Stability observed for 7 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
Capabilities100
  • Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.Pass

MCP tools — 1 exposed · ~135 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
estimate ~135

Return a pre-flight, probabilistic token-spend estimate for a coding task before you run it, and store it so the realized cost can be recorded afterward. Call this with the user's task described in natural language. Returns a token range (p10–p90), a scenario label, and a confidence score. This tool only estimates and records — it never reports how many tokens a run actually used.

NameTypeReqDescription
