// key findings
🚨
Code appears obfuscated
1 file are unreadable to a human reviewer. Cannot audit what they do.
⚠️
Tool descriptions don’t match what handlers do
1 tool describes read intent but its handler mutates — get_my_network_info (line 781: proc = subprocess.run()
🔐
You'll be asked for 2 credentials: URSA_MINOR_APPROVAL_KEY, URSA_API_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

108/108 tools missing one or more hints — ursa_start_c2 (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); ursa_stop_c2 (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); ursa_c2_status (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +105 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

2 tools perform destructive updates without destructiveHint — ursa_start_c2 deletes at line 196 (os.unlink(C2_PID_FILE)); ursa_stop_c2 deletes at line 254 (os.unlink(C2_PID_FILE))

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.

Descriptions match behaviour

1 tool describes read intent but its handler mutates — get_my_network_info (line 781: proc = subprocess.run()

Rename the tool, rewrite the description, or move the side-effect into a separate clearly-named tool.

No eval / new Function

2 eval() or new Function() calls — dynamic code execution

Replace eval / Function with explicit parsing or safer alternatives.

Readable source code

1 file are minified or bundled, which is usually build output rather than concealment

Ship unminified, readable source.

Secrets not logged

1 secret value sent to print

Redact or omit secret values from log output.

Tool description accuracy

get_my_network_info: description implies read-only but handler writes/deletes/executes

Update tool descriptions to accurately reflect all capabilities — especially write, delete, or execute operations.

// 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 8 concrete improvements we can share with the publisher of this MCP. Each comes with specific guidance to raise the trust score.
