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 Security98
  • No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
  • Known CVEs were checked across the 123 of 124 dependencies we could resolve, so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree.Partial
  • No install/post-install scripts declared.Pass
  • Dependency health was assessed across the 123 of 124 dependencies we could resolve, so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree. View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency32
Schema Quality & AI Usability68
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 2193 tokens (~243/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 Management97
  • Stability observed for 29 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
  • 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 9 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
  • An AI judge read all 10 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 · ~1,764 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
get_global_summary ~86

Return the user's cross-project global memory summary (coding style, recurring preferences, stable workflow conventions). USE WHEN: the request depends on durable user-level preferences that apply across projects. DO NOT USE WHEN: the question is project-specific, purely syntactic, or self-contained. RETURNS: { found, summary? } where summary has { id, title, summary, updated_at }.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

NameTypeReqDescription
foundbooleanyes
summaryyes

No examples provided.

get_memory_detail ~141

Load the full body of a specific memory by id. USE WHEN: a search_memory_light candidate looks relevant and you need its full content / metadata. DO NOT USE WHEN: you have not identified a specific memory id, or you are tempted to call this many times in a row. LIMIT: call at most 3 times per user turn. RETURNS: { found, memory? } where memory has { id, title, summary, content, memory_type, level, importance, source, metadata, created_at, updated_at }.

NameTypeReqDescription
idstringyesMemory node id as returned by search_memory_light (e.g. 'mem_<hex>')
NameTypeReqDescription
foundbooleanyes
memoryyes

No examples provided.

get_project_summary ~204

Return the concise summary for the current project (architecture, key decisions, conventions). USE WHEN: the request depends on project-level context — architecture, conventions, long-term decisions, or project overview. DO NOT USE WHEN: the request is about the current task's state, global preferences, or is self-contained. CALL ORDER: prefer this before search_memory_light. Pass workspace_path OR git_root OR remote_url OR project_id so the server can identify the project. RETURNS: { project_id, found, summary? } where summary has { id, title, summary, updated_at }.

NameTypeReqDescription
git_rootstringAbsolute path to the git repository root
project_idstringExplicit project id (skip auto-resolution when known)

summaryyes

No examples provided.

get_task_summary ~164

Return the current task summary (what was done, blockers, next steps). USE WHEN: the user asks to continue, resume, or recall recent work on a task. DO NOT USE WHEN: there is no prior task state referenced, or the request is about global / project-level context. RETURNS: { project_id, found, summary? } where summary has { id, title, summary, updated_at }.

NameTypeReqDescription
git_rootstringAbsolute path to the git repository root
project_idstringExplicit project id

remember_decision ~249

Persist a durable technical decision (architecture choice, trade-off, accepted pattern, rejected alternative). USE WHEN: the user confirms a decision that should outlive the current session. DO NOT USE WHEN: the info is a transient fact/command (use remember_fact) or raw chat log. IMPORTANCE: defaults to 0.8 — override only if the user signals otherwise. RETURNS: { project_id, memory_id }.

NameTypeReqDescription
contentstringOptional extended rationale, trade-offs, and rejected alternatives
git_rootstringAbsolute path to the git repository root
importancenumber0.0-1.0, defaults to 0.8 for decisions

NameTypeReqDescription
memory_idstringyes
project_idstringyes

No examples provided.

remember_fact ~283

Persist a concise atomic memory: fact, command, gotcha, link, or convention. USE WHEN: the user gives concrete reusable info (a command, env detail, integration note, rule). DO NOT USE WHEN: the info is a major decision (use remember_decision) or a summary (use upsert_*_summary). FACT TYPES: fact | command | gotcha | link | convention | decision (prefer remember_decision for 'decision'). RETURNS: { project_id, memory_id }.

NameTypeReqDescription
contentstringOptional extended detail or example usage
fact_typestringAtomic memory type: fact | command | gotcha | link | convention | decision. Prefer remember_decision for 'decision'.

titlestringyesShort title for the fact (max 200 chars)
workspace_pathstringAbsolute path to the workspace root
NameTypeReqDescription
memory_idstringyes
project_idstringyes

No examples provided.

search_memory_light ~262

Lexical FTS5 search across atomic memories. Returns compact candidate records only — not full content. USE WHEN: the summary tools above do not provide enough context AND the request includes a concrete search phrase (command name, symbol, past event). DO NOT USE WHEN: summaries already answer the question, the query is empty/too vague, or you only need the global/project/task summary. CALL ORDER: always call summary tools first. Then follow up this tool's top 1-3 results with get_memory_detail — never dump all candidates. RETURNS: { count, results: [{ id, title, summary, memory_type, level, importance, updated_at }] }.

NameTypeReqDescription

NameTypeReqDescription
countintegeryes
resultsarrayyes

No examples provided.

upsert_project_summary ~187

Idempotently create or replace the structured project summary node. USE WHEN: architecture, conventions, or key decisions changed enough that a fresh summary is worth storing. DO NOT USE WHEN: the change is a single fact / decision (use remember_fact or remember_decision). RETURNS: { project_id, summary_id }.

NameTypeReqDescription
display_namestringHuman-readable project name (displayed to users)
git_rootstringAbsolute path to the git repository root

NameTypeReqDescription
project_idstringyes
summary_idstringyes

No examples provided.

upsert_task_summary ~188

Idempotently create or replace the current task summary (progress, blockers, next steps). USE WHEN: meaningful progress was made, a blocker appeared, or the plan changed and the next session must resume. DO NOT USE WHEN: the update fits better as a single fact or decision. RETURNS: { project_id, summary_id }.

NameTypeReqDescription
git_rootstringAbsolute path to the git repository root
parent_task_idstringOptional parent task node id for nesting
