Socraticode
Enterprise-grade (40m+ lines) codebase intelligence in a zero-setup, private and local MCP: managed indexing, hybrid semantic search, polyglot code dependency graphs, and DB/API/infra knowledge. Benchmark: 61% less tokens, 84% fewer calls, 37x faster than standard AI grep.
Caution. Specific findings reduced this grade. They are listed on the page. Grades reflect the full trust pyramid: code, verification depth, and reputation. New projects cap at C until adoption is earned.

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
25/25 tools missing one or more hints — codebase_index (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); codebase_update (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); codebase_remove (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +22 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.
Tool inputs are validated
Only 11/25 tool handlers declare input schemas (44%)
Declare an inputSchema with zod/joi/yup on every tool definition.
Tool handlers catch errors
Only 0/25 tool handlers wrap calls in try/catch (0%)
Wrap each tool handler body in try/catch and return a structured error response.
Shell command execution
61 child_process calls — runs shell commands
Prefer library functions over shell-outs. If you must shell out, ensure all inputs are properly escaped.
Production dependencies are patched
0 critical, 1 high severity in production deps — glob@11.0.1 (high)
Run npm audit fix, or upgrade the affected packages to a non-vulnerable version.
Dev dependencies
1 critical/high in dev-only deps (does not ship to users)
Upgrade dev dependencies when convenient.
Dependency freshness
1/27 production deps stale: proper-lockfile@2022-06-24 (4y)
