switchboard

The public half of Devcontainer routing tool for my Claude sessions.

Caution. Specific findings reduced this grade. They are listed on the page. Grades reflect the full trust pyramid: code, verification depth, and reputation. New projects cap at C until adoption is earned.

// key findings
No credential exfiltration, no sensitive file access, no obfuscation
Static analysis found nothing flowing your secrets to unexpected places.
🔐
You'll be asked for 4 credentials: CONSOLE_BRIDGE_TOKEN, FEDERATION_WS_TOKEN, HOST_WS_TOKEN, SWITCHBOARD_SESSION_TOKEN
These are read from process.env at runtime. Make sure you trust where they’ll be sent.
// environment variables
To run this server yourself, you supply these values. They go in your own MCP client configuration and stay on your machine. The secret label means the value is sensitive, not that the server mishandles it.

Tool annotations

No tools have read-only/destructive annotations

Add readOnlyHint or destructiveHint annotations to every tool so hosts can warn users before invoking.

All four hints declared on every tool

40/40 tools missing one or more hints — projectMcpConnectorStatus (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); switchboard_capabilities (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); taskBoardList (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +37 more. OpenAI's directory rejects tools where any of the four hints are missing or non-boolean.

For every tool, set all four hints (readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint) to explicit true/false values that match the handler’s actual behaviour.

Destructive tools are labelled

1 tool perform destructive updates without destructiveHint — taskBoardFetchAttachments deletes at line 230 (rmSync(join(CHANNEL_FILES_DIR, safeFilename(args.id)), { recursive: true, force: true }))

Add destructiveHint:true to any tool whose handler calls .delete(), .upsert(), .update(), unlink, rm, DELETE, DROP, REPLACE INTO, or any operation that overwrites existing data.

Tool inputs are validated

39/40 tool handlers declare input schemas (98%)

Declare an inputSchema with zod/joi/yup on every tool definition.

License file

No license file

Add a LICENSE file (MIT, Apache-2.0, etc.).

Tool test coverage

Only 11/40 tools referenced in tests (28%)

Write tests that reference each tool by name so every tool has at least one test.

No eval / new Function

1 eval() or new Function() call — dynamic code execution

Replace eval / Function with explicit parsing or safer alternatives.

Shell command execution

10 calls in production code run through a shell (src/mcp/bridge/registerBridgeTools.ts:23, src/mcp/devcontainer/helpers.ts:29, src/mcp/devcontainer/helpers.ts:62)

Prefer library functions over shell-outs. If you must shell out, ensure all inputs are properly escaped.

No arbitrary install scripts

Has postinstall/preinstall script — runs arbitrary code on npm install

Remove postinstall/preinstall hooks unless they’re essential.

// full audit trail
The findings above are the summary. The full trail, every check we ran, each deduction, the network hosts observed and the dependency advisories, goes to verified publishers, along with an alert whenever a new one lands. Verified publishers can also review each finding and dispute it in one click. Publisher corrections have sharpened several of our checks this month, because the maintainer knows the codebase better than any scanner.
// improvement guidance — verified publishers only
We have 9 concrete improvements we can share with the publisher of this MCP. Each comes with specific guidance to raise the trust score.
