## Trust breakdown

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. Scores are 0–100 per category. Scoring method: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring (what has changed: https://verifymcp.io/docs/scoring/changelog)

  - Publishes a security disclosure policy (SECURITY.md).
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 59/100
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (good).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 538 tokens (~269/item across 2 items; 2 tools + 0 resources), over budget; trim descriptions and params.
  - Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples.
- **Stability & Change Management**: 0/100
  - Stability not yet verified: not enough scan history yet (needs a 30-day window).
- **Tool Coverage**: 100/100
  - 100% of tools have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the tool's name).
  - 100% of tool parameters carry a description.
- **Tool Safety**: 100/100
  - No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.
  - We read all 2 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 3 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.
- **Capabilities**: 100/100
  - Implements a supported MCP spec version (2025-11-25); the latest is 2026-07-28.

**Unverified: 1 category.** A category scored 0 because we could not verify it: a data source with nothing on this package, evidence we could not reach, or a check we could not run. We only credit what we can confirm.

## MCP tools (2)

### `js` (~479 tokens)

Run JavaScript in a persistent computer-use session. Put a whole step in one call: several actions, then one read. Top-level const/let/function/await persist across calls until js_reset (redeclaring is fine).

const calc = await gb.getApp("Calculator");   // name, bundle id, or "pid:123"; launches if needed, does not steal focus
await calc.pressKey("Escape");                 // xdotool syntax: Return, Tab, ctrl+a, super+c (super = Cmd)
await calc.typeText("12*3=");                  // "\n" presses Return
await calc.getAXState();                       // text accessibility tree; later reads return only changes

Reads: getAXState({disableDiffing, frames, menus, window}) returns "<index> <role> \"label\" value=..." lines. frames:true adds @x,y wxh in image pixels. getScreenshot() and getAXStateAndScreenshot() are the only calls that return an image. Every read emits its output; pass {emit:false} to just get the value.
Actions: click(target, {button, count, modifiers}), doubleClick, rightClick, scroll(target, dy), drag(from, to), setValue(index, v), focus(index), selectText(index, {start, length}), performSecondaryAction(index, "Show Menu"), listActions(index), activate(), windows(), frame(index), center(index).
A target is an element index from the tree, or [x, y] pixels in the window image (same space as the screenshot and frames). Prefer indices; use pixels when the tree has nothing useful (remote desktops, canvases). Input stays in the background (focus and the user's cursor don't move); pass {foreground: true} to an action if an app ignores it.
gb.listApps() lists running apps. console.log adds text to the result. help() or help("click") prints the full API. If a result says "Stopped:" the user took over (switched apps or pressed Escape): stop and ask before continuing.

Input parameters:

- `code` (string, required): JavaScript to run. Top-level await is supported.
- `timeout_ms` (integer): Time limit in milliseconds (default 120000).
- `title` (string): A few words naming this step, for the action log.

### `js_reset` (~29 tokens)

Restart the session and drop every binding. Use when a script is stuck or you want a clean slate.

## Common questions

### What is the glovebox MCP server?

glovebox is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.vpatel9202/glovebox. Computer use for coding agents on macOS: JS scripts, accessibility diffs, background input. This page covers its npm package (@vashp2029/glovebox).

### Is the glovebox MCP server safe to use?

glovebox scores 68 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 5 November 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

### What tools does the glovebox MCP server expose?

glovebox exposes 2 tools: js, js_reset. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 508 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the glovebox MCP server still maintained?

glovebox is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 5 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

### What licence is the glovebox MCP server under?

glovebox declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.

### What did VerifyMCP test on the glovebox MCP server?

VerifyMCP ran 15 checks on glovebox, covering Malware scan, Known CVEs, Install scripts, Dependency health and 11 more. One item could not be completed, a gap on our side rather than a finding about glovebox: Stability. One category scores 0 for that reason, because we only credit what we can confirm. Endpoint Security and Transport & Reachability do not apply to an npm package, so they were not tested. The score does not measure everything, and the scoring documentation lists what it leaves out.
