## 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)

Scored 2026-09-20.

- **Supply Chain Security**: 98/100
  - No malware found by supply-chain analysis.
  - No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.
  - No install/post-install scripts declared.
  - 31 of 95 dependencies flagged as unhealthy.
- **Provenance & Transparency**: 97/100
  - Source repository is publicly reachable at the declared URL.
  - Cryptographically verified build provenance (signed, bound to youbotapi/gpt-image-mcp).
  - Clear OSI-approved license (MIT).
  - Actively maintained (last published 2 days ago).
  - Disclosure check failed: no security disclosure policy was found in the source repository.
- **Schema Quality & AI Usability**: 81/100
  - 100% of prompts and resources have a non-trivial description (not blank, and not just the item's name).
  - AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).
  - Context-footprint check failed: tool/resource definitions use about 722 tokens (~240/item across 3 items; 3 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 3 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.
  - An AI judge read all 4 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.

### 2026-09-17 (score 81)

First indexed and scored.

## MCP tools (3)

### `generate_image` (~165 tokens)

Generate an image from a text prompt using GPT Image 2.5 (OpenAI's most capable image model) at $0.029 per image, 1024px. Good at photorealism, illustration, and rendering readable text inside the image. Costs 2.9 credits per call. Requires a you.bot API key in YOUBOT_API_KEY — NOT an OpenAI key. Free key with 50 starting credits (~17 images) at https://you.bot.

Input parameters:

- `aspect_ratio` (string): Shape of the image. Defaults to 1:1 (square).
- `prompt` (string, required): What to draw. Long, specific descriptions work best — subject, setting, lighting, composition, style. To put words in the image, quote them exactly.

### `edit_image` (~186 tokens)

Edit an existing image with GPT Image 2.5 — change, add, remove or restyle parts of it while keeping the rest. Takes a publicly reachable image URL and a description of the change. $0.029 per edit (2.9 credits), 1024px output. Requires a you.bot API key in YOUBOT_API_KEY — NOT an OpenAI key. Free key with 50 starting credits (~17 images) at https://you.bot.

Input parameters:

- `aspect_ratio` (string): Shape of the output image. Defaults to 1:1 (square).
- `image_url` (string, required): Public https URL of the source image. Local file paths do not work — the image must be reachable from the internet.
- `prompt` (string, required): The change to make, e.g. 'replace the background with a snowy forest, keep the subject and lighting unchanged'.

### `check_credits` (~69 tokens)

Check the remaining you.bot credit balance and how many more images it buys. Free and instant — does not generate anything. Requires a you.bot API key in YOUBOT_API_KEY — NOT an OpenAI key. Free key with 50 starting credits (~17 images) at https://you.bot.
