Known vulnerabilities in dependencies: 7 high
Affects packages this MCP installs at runtime. Upgrade or remove the affected dependency.
No credential exfiltration, no sensitive file access, no obfuscation
Static analysis found nothing flowing your secrets to unexpected places.
Open source with a license and README
Anyone can audit the code, the license is declared, and the publisher documents what it does.

These names and descriptions are the publisher's own, read from the source code. We print them as written. Our assessment is the findings above, not this list.

search

Semantic search across indexed knowledge bases. Returns ranked results with excerpts.

fetch

Live-fetch a single document from a configured knowledge source by ID.

sources

List configured knowledge sources with their sync status.

sync

Sync one or all configured knowledge sources into the vector index.

list

update
similar
supersede
lineage
open

Explicitly open a named attention window. Emits a Postgres NOTIFY event.

close

Explicitly close a named attention window. Emits a Postgres NOTIFY event.

status

Show currently-open attention windows with one-line summary per window

service

Load the pending-ask cohort for a window, render a terminal digest, and accept operator responses

session.edit_file

Use this tool to make an edit to an existing file. This will be read by a less intelligent model, which will quickly apply the edit. You should make it clear what the edit is, while also minimizing the unchanged code you write. When writing the edit, you should specify each edit in sequence, with t

session.search_replace

Replace text in a file within a session workspace. By default, requires exactly one occurrence (for safety). Set replace_all=true to replace all occurrences. FAIL-CLOSED (mt#2400): a replace_all matching 2+ occurrences that would grow the file beyond 1.5x its original size is REFUSED as a likely run

tasks.spec.patch

Edit a task specification using marker-based patching. Task specs are stored in the database, not the filesystem. Use this tool to make partial edits to a task spec. Specify each edit with the special comment // ... existing code ... to represent unchanged content between edited sections. For exam

tasks.spec.search_replace

Replace a single occurrence of text in a task specification. Task specs are stored in the database, not the filesystem.

session.move_file

Move a file from one location to another within a session workspace

session.rename_file

Rename a file within a session workspace

session.read_file

Read a file within a session workspace with optional line range support

session.write_file

Write content to a file within a session workspace

session.list_directory

List contents of a directory within a session workspace

session.file_exists

Check if a file or directory exists within a session workspace

session.delete_file

Delete a file within a session workspace

session.create_directory

Create a directory within a session workspace

session.grep_search

Search for patterns in files within a session workspace using regex

session.diff

Show git diff output for a session workspace. Returns unstaged changes by default, or staged changes with staged=true.

session.status
restart

Restart the local MCP daemon (the tray respawns it). Previews by default; pass --execute to act.

register

Register Minsky as an MCP server with a supported client

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

32/32 tools missing one or more hints — search (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); fetch (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); sources (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +29 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

4 calls in production code run through a shell (src/commands/lint/index.ts:52, src/mcp/daemon-state.ts:114, src/mcp/staleness-detector.ts:153)

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.

Production dependencies are patched

0 critical, 3 high severity in production deps — drizzle-orm@0.44.2 (high), glob@11.0.3 (high)

Run npm audit fix, or upgrade the affected packages to a non-vulnerable version.

Dev dependencies

4 critical/high in dev-only deps (does not ship to users)

Upgrade dev dependencies when convenient.

Dependency freshness

9/65 production deps abandoned (no release in 2+ years): @types/logform@2022-04-07 (4.4y), @types/winston@2022-06-13 (4.3y), d3-force@2022-06-14 (4.3y)

// 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 6 concrete improvements we can share with the publisher of this MCP. Each comes with specific guidance to raise the trust score.
