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 (107 of 111), 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 (107 of 111), so this covers what we could see, not the whole tree. View diagnostics → Partial
Provenance & Transparency45
Schema Quality & AI Usability66
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
  • Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 728 tokens (~145/item across 5 items; 5 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

Changelog

Every change we have recorded for this component, newest first. Security-relevant changes are always shown. ▲ marks a change for the better, ▼ a change for the worse; unmarked changes are neutral.

  • 3 Aug 26 +1

    No change was recorded against any check on this day. Stability & Change Management went from 20 to 23. That category is still filling its 30-day observation window: 6 days of observed history at the previous scan, 7 at this one. The score rises as the window fills, whether or not the server changes.

MCP tools — 5 exposed · ~728 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
claude_code ~293

Send a task to an autonomous Claude Code agent. It reads/writes files, runs shell commands, searches codebases, and handles complex software engineering tasks end-to-end. Returns the result text plus a session_id for follow-ups via claude_code_reply.

NameTypeReqDescription

maxTurnsintegerMax conversation turns
modelstringModel override (e.g. "sonnet", "opus", "haiku")

claude_code_reply ~138

Continue a previous claude_code conversation by session ID. Use this for follow-up questions, iterative refinement, or multi-step workflows that build on prior context.

No examples provided.

claude_code_report ~106

Generate a self-contained HTML report of a workflow run. No args: list all runs. run_id: detailed report for that run with agent sequence, cost breakdown, and collapsible transcripts. Save the returned HTML to a file and open in a browser.

NameTypeReqDescription
