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 Security87
  • No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
  • Only part of the dependency tree could be resolved (97 of 101), so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree.Partial
  • No install/post-install scripts declared.Pass
  • Only part of the dependency tree could be resolved (97 of 101), so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree. View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency45
Schema Quality & AI Usability69
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 1583 tokens (~197/item across 8 items; 8 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 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 — 8 exposed · ~1,583 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
assert_chaos_handled ~216

Injects a chaos HTTP status into all matching requests, then returns a structured verdict: did the app show a fallback UI, were there unhandled JS exceptions, and did it survive? Use to answer: is the app chaos-resilient — does it show a recovery UI without throwing exceptions?

NameTypeReqDescription
expected_fallback_selectorstringCSS selector for the fallback/error UI expected to appear (e.g., '.error-boundary'). chaos_survived is true only when this is found AND there are no unhandled exceptions.
http_statusintegerHTTP error status to return for all matching requests (default: 500)
intercept_patternstringyesGlob pattern for requests to fail (e.g., '**/api/**')
urlstringyesURL of the page to test
viewportobjectViewport size (default: 1280×720)
wait_msintegerMilliseconds to wait after navigation before evaluating verdict (default: 2000)

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

block_resources ~160

Blocks requests to specified URL patterns — useful for simulating third-party outages (analytics, CDNs, tracking). Use to answer: does the app still load and function if Google Analytics or a CDN is down?

NameTypeReqDescription
block_patternsarrayyesGlob patterns for requests to block (e.g., ['**/analytics**', '*.doubleclick.net/**'])
core_content_selectorstringCSS selector for core content that must still be present (e.g., '.main-content')
urlstringyesURL of the page to test
viewportobjectViewport size (default: 1280×720)
wait_msintegerMilliseconds to wait after navigation before checking core content (default: 2000)

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

inject_latency ~170

Adds artificial delay to requests matching a URL pattern, simulating slow networks or overloaded APIs. Use to answer: does the app show loading states when the API takes 3 seconds? Does it time out gracefully?

NameTypeReqDescription
intercept_patternstringyesGlob pattern for requests to delay (e.g., '**/api/**')
jitter_msintegerRandom additional delay in milliseconds (default: 0)
latency_msintegerBase delay in milliseconds to add to each matched request (default: 3000)
loading_selectorstringCSS selector for the loading state that should appear (e.g., '.skeleton-loader')
urlstringyesURL of the page to test
viewportobjectViewport size (default: 1280×720)

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

inject_response_corruption ~226

Intercepts requests matching a URL pattern and returns a malformed or corrupted response, simulating partial network failures at the protocol level. Use to answer: does the app handle malformed JSON, content-length lies, or truncated payloads without crashing?

NameTypeReqDescription
corruption_typestringyesType of corruption: malformed_json (unterminated JSON body), length_mismatch (content-length claims 99999 bytes but body is short), truncated (body cut off at truncate_at_byte)
fallback_selectorstringCSS selector for the fallback UI that should appear (e.g., '.parse-error')
intercept_patternstringyesGlob pattern for requests to corrupt (e.g., '**/api/data**')
truncate_at_byteintegerByte offset to truncate at (only used when corruption_type is truncated)
urlstringyesURL of the page to test
viewportobjectViewport size (default: 1280×720)
wait_msintegerMilliseconds to wait after navigation before checking state (default: 2000)

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

simulate_api_failure ~197

Intercepts API requests matching a URL pattern and makes them return an error status code. Navigates to the page and checks if a fallback UI element appears. Use to answer: does the app show a proper error state when the payment API returns 503?

NameTypeReqDescription
fallback_selectorstringCSS selector for the fallback UI that should appear (e.g., '.error-boundary')
intercept_patternstringyesGlob pattern for requests to intercept (e.g., '**/api/payment**')
response_bodystringResponse body to return for intercepted requests
status_codeintegerHTTP error status code to return (default: 503)
urlstringyesURL of the page to test
viewportobjectViewport size (default: 1280×720)
wait_msintegerMilliseconds to wait after navigation before checking the fallback (default: 2000)

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

simulate_network_drop ~179

Aborts requests matching a pattern after a delay, simulating a mid-flight connection drop. Use to answer: what happens if the network drops after the order request is sent but before the response arrives?

NameTypeReqDescription
drop_after_msintegerMilliseconds to wait before aborting the request, simulating mid-flight drop (default: 500)
fallback_selectorstringCSS selector for the fallback UI that should appear (e.g., '.timeout-error')
intercept_patternstringyesGlob pattern for requests to drop (e.g., '**/api/order**')
urlstringyesURL of the page to test
viewportobjectViewport size (default: 1280×720)
wait_msintegerMilliseconds to wait after navigation before checking fallback (default: 2000)

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

simulate_stateful_failure ~233

Intercepts requests matching a URL pattern and fails the first N requests with an error status, then lets subsequent requests succeed. Simulates transient failures and tests retry/recovery logic. Use to answer: does the app retry after a 503 and recover when the service comes back?

NameTypeReqDescription
failure_countintegerNumber of requests to fail before allowing success (default: 3)
fallback_selectorstringCSS selector for the fallback/retry UI that should appear (e.g., '.retry-button')
http_statusintegerHTTP error status code for the failing requests (default: 503)
intercept_patternstringyesGlob pattern for requests to intercept (e.g., '**/api/data**')
success_payloadstringResponse body for requests after the failure window (default: {"ok":true})
urlstringyesURL of the page to test
viewportobjectViewport size (default: 1280×720)
wait_msintegerMilliseconds to wait after navigation before checking state (default: 2000)

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

trigger_system_network_error ~202

Aborts requests matching a URL pattern with a system-level network error code, simulating OS-level failures like unreachable hosts or access denied. Use to answer: does the app recover when the DNS resolution fails or the OS rejects a connection?

NameTypeReqDescription
error_codestringyesSystem network error code: addressunreachable (DNS/routing failure), connectionaborted (mid-flight drop), accessdenied (firewall/OS block), aborted (generic abort)
fallback_selectorstringCSS selector for the fallback UI that should appear (e.g., '.network-error')
