⚠️

Tool descriptions don’t match what handlers do

1 tool describes read intent but its handler mutates — afterpaths_summarize (line 228: summary_path.write_text(result.with_metadata_footer()))

✅

No credential exfiltration, no sensitive file access, no obfuscation

Static analysis found nothing flowing your secrets to unexpected places.

🔐

You'll be asked for 3 credentials: AFTERPATHS_LICENSE_KEY, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, OPENAI_API_KEY

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

6/6 tools missing one or more hints — afterpaths_list_sessions (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); afterpaths_show_session (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); afterpaths_show_artifacts (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +3 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.

Descriptions match behaviour

1 tool describes read intent but its handler mutates — afterpaths_summarize (line 228: summary_path.write_text(result.with_metadata_footer()))

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

License file

No license file

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

Tests exist

No test files found

Add tests that exercise each declared tool.

// 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 5 concrete improvements we can share with the publisher of this MCP. Each comes with specific guidance to raise the trust score.
