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 Security90
- No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
- CVE check failed: a known high-severity CVE affects @opentelemetry/auto-instrumentations-node 0.67.3, reached via @tigerdata/mcp-boilerplate > @opentelemetry/auto-instrumentations-node. A fixed version is available. View diagnostics → Fail
- No install/post-install scripts declared.Pass
- 64 of 288 dependencies flagged as unhealthy (1 deprecated). View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency96
- Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL. View diagnostics → Pass
- Cryptographically verified build provenance (signed, bound to timescale/tiger-skills-mcp-server). View diagnostics → Pass
- Clear OSI-approved license (Apache-2.0).Pass
- Actively maintained (last published 283 days ago).Pass
- Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository. See how to fix → Fail
Schema Quality & AI Usability66
- AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
- Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 385 tokens (~385/item across 1 items; 1 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 Management80
- Stability observed for 24 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 1 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
- An AI judge read all 1 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

# Tiger Skills This tool provides access to domain-specific skills - structured knowledge and procedures for specialized tasks. ## How to Use Skills 1. **Discover**: If you have not been provided the list of skills, fetch them by invoking this tool with `name: "."` 2. **Read**: Access a skill by reading its SKILL.md file: `name: "skill-name", path: "SKILL.md"` 3. **Explore**: Navigate within the skill directory to find additional resources, examples, or templates. The SKILL.md file and other documents may contain relative links to guide you. You can list the content of directories by specifying the directory path, relative to the skill root. 4. **Apply**: Follow the procedures and reference the knowledge in the skill to complete your task ## Skill Structure Each skill contains: - **SKILL.md**: Main documentation (always start here) - **REFERENCE.md**: Quick reference card (optional) - Additional files: Examples, templates, scripts ## When to Use Skills - Read relevant skills proactively when you identify a task that matches a skill's domain - Skills are meant to augment your knowledge, not replace your reasoning - Apply skill guidance while adapting to the specific user request - Skills use progressive disclosure - start with high-level guidance and drill down only as needed - Skills may also refer to tools or resources external to the skill itself - Use other tools to execute any code or scripts provided by the skill
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
