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 → Why this is hard to 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

  • AI-judged instruction clarity (excellent).Pass
  • Tool/resource definitions use about 3114 tokens (~51/item across 61 items; 60 tools + 1 resources), lean.Pass
  • Usage-examples check failed: none of the tools include examples. See how to fix → Fail

Tool Safety100
  • No prompt-injection markers were found in the server instructions, tool names or descriptions we captured.Pass
  • We read all 60 captured tool definition(s), and no name or description among them implies an irreversible operation.Pass
  • An AI judge read all 62 captured unit(s) of tool text and found none that tries to manipulate the model reading it.Pass

MCP tools · 60 exposed · ~2,884 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. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Common questions

What is the io.github.zz-plant/ambit MCP server?

io.github.zz-plant/ambit is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.zz-plant/ambit. Capability graph of your agent stack: what it can do, what to set up next, what breaks. This page covers its npm package (ambit-cli).

Is the io.github.zz-plant/ambit MCP server safe to use?

io.github.zz-plant/ambit scores 83 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 4 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 io.github.zz-plant/ambit MCP server expose?

io.github.zz-plant/ambit exposes 60 tools: ambit_stats, ambit_context, ambit_cap, ambit_decay, ambit_combos, and 55 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 2,884 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Is the io.github.zz-plant/ambit MCP server still maintained?

io.github.zz-plant/ambit is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 4 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 io.github.zz-plant/ambit MCP server under?

io.github.zz-plant/ambit declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
