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.

record_append

record_read

record_decision

steering_read

steering_put

work_create

work_get

Fetch one work item by id, or null if it does not exist. Runs the lazy-expiry seam first. The item carries its DERIVED referenced_by backlinks, so a superseded item shows what replaced it.

work_list

work_update_meta

work_claim

work_renew

work_release

work_complete

work_cancel

work_reopen

Reopen an item from done back to open. Runs the lazy-expiry seam first.

work_events

All events for one work item, oldest first — the full immutable audit trail. Runs the lazy-expiry seam first.

mock_tool

mock tool for registration-point test

// known CVEs in dependencies1 critical

Disclosed vulnerabilities in this server's declared npm dependencies (via OSV). Whether each is reachable depends on the installed versions.

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

17/17 tools missing one or more hints — record_append (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); record_read (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); record_decision (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.

Tool inputs are validated

16/17 tool handlers declare input schemas (94%)

Declare an inputSchema with zod/joi/yup on every tool definition.

No hardcoded API keys

1 live-looking API key in source: 1 GitHub PAT (classic)

Move secrets to environment variables (process.env.X) or your secret manager.

Dev dependencies

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

Upgrade dev dependencies when convenient.

// 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.
