Basic Memory
Knowledge management system that builds a persistent semantic graph in markdown, locally.
Emerging. No concerning findings. Grades remain capped until the project builds reputation through adoption. Grades reflect the full trust pyramid: code, verification depth, and reputation. New projects cap at C until adoption is earned.
How we verified
Verified is a snapshot. Live keeps it current, and builds your track record.

Install from
M8ven verifies MCPs across every public registry — install directly from whichever one you prefer.
Disclosed vulnerabilities in this server's declared npm dependencies (via OSV). Whether each is reachable depends on the installed versions.
OpenClaw: Paired nodes could forge exec lifecycle events without system.run provenance
OpenClaw: Hook-triggered CLI runs could receive owner MCP tool authority
OpenClaw: Trusted retry endpoint checks could match hostname prefixes
OpenClaw: Matrix allowFrom could bind to mutable display names
OpenClaw: Workspace .env could override Homebrew executable selection for skill install flows
BM_BINBM_INTEGRATIONTool 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
17/17 tools missing one or more hints — build_context (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); delete_note (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); edit_note (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +14 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.
Shell command execution
1 call in production code run through a shell (commands/slash.ts:25)
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.
Dev dependencies
16 critical/high in dev-only deps (does not ship to users)
Upgrade dev dependencies when convenient.
Domain consistency
npm scope @basicmemory doesn't match GitHub owner basicmachines-co
Use the same org name across GitHub, npm, and your homepage so users can verify the publisher.

Add it once and ask Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP client to grade a server, surface CVEs, check the publisher, and suggest safer alternatives — before you install.
