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 Security100
  • No malware found by supply-chain analysis.Pass
  • No known CVEs affecting this package version or its production dependencies.Pass
  • No install/post-install scripts declared.Pass
  • No production dependencies, so there is no dependency health to assess. View diagnostics → Pass
Provenance & Transparency45
Schema Quality & AI Usability71
  • AI-judged instruction clarity (good).Pass
  • Tool/resource definitions use about 341 tokens (~113/item across 3 items; 3 tools + 0 resources), lean.Pass
  • 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
Capabilities20
  • Spec-recency check failed: implements MCP spec 2024-11-05; the latest is 2026-07-28. See how to fix → Fail

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 — 3 exposed · ~341 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
l402_gate_challenge ~74

Request a fresh PoW challenge from the PowForge L402 gate. Returns {nonce, difficulty}. Find a `solution` such that SHA-256(nonce+solution) starts with `difficulty` leading hex zeros, then call l402_gate_verify with {nonce, solution}. Free tier — no payment required.

Input schema present but exposes no named parameters.

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

l402_gate_score ~92

Look up the Depth-of-Identity (DoI) score for a Nostr pubkey via the public PowForge oracle. Returns {composite, rank, depth, score_version}. Use the composite scalar against your own minScore policy. Pairs with l402_gate_verify for compose-able L402 + identity gating.

NameTypeReqDescription
pubkeystringyes64-hex Nostr pubkey to score

No output schema declared.

No examples provided.

l402_gate_verify ~175

Verify a gate access attempt. Three shapes: (a) {nonce, solution} verifies a PoW solve and returns a 5-min token; (b) {request_invoice: true} mints a fresh L402 bolt11 invoice for the Lightning-skip tier; (c) {payment_hash} polls for L402 payment and returns the token once paid. Returns {token, method, content} on success.

NameTypeReqDescription

request_invoicebooleanSet true to mint an L402 invoice instead of solving the PoW
