Install from
The grade above is for the source repository. Registries can serve a different version, so we mark the ones we were not able to read.
Tool annotations match behaviour
1 read-only tool performs write/delete/exec — ask_user (line 311: /^choice_(\d+)$/.exec(value))
Either remove the readOnlyHint:true annotation, or remove the write/delete call from the tool handler.
Tool handlers catch errors
Only 0/2 tool handlers wrap calls in try/catch (0%)
Wrap each tool handler body in try/catch and return a structured error response.
License file
No license file
Add a LICENSE file (MIT, Apache-2.0, etc.).
Shell command execution
1 child_process call — runs shell commands
Prefer library functions over shell-outs. If you must shell out, ensure all inputs are properly escaped.
