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.

openspec_init

Initialize OpenSpec in your project

openspec_update

Update OpenSpec instruction files

openspec_list

List items (changes or specs). Returns a JSON array when --json is used.

openspec_show

Show a change or spec. Use type to specify if it is ambiguous.

openspec_validate

Validate a change proposal or spec

openspec_archive

Archive a completed change and update main specs

openspec_new_change

Create a new change directory

openspec_status

Display artifact completion status for a change

openspec_instructions

Output enriched instructions for an artifact or apply

openspec_read_file

Read any OpenSpec artifact directly. Much faster than show — use this when you need file contents.

openspec_refresh_cache

Force refresh the cached directory listing. Use if you suspect changes were made outside OpenSpec tools.

// known CVEs in dependencies2 high

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

high@modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.24.3GHSA-345p-7cg4-v4c7

@modelcontextprotocol/sdk has cross-client data leak via shared server/transport instance reuse

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

11/11 tools missing one or more hints — openspec_init (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); openspec_update (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); openspec_list (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +8 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.

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.

Production dependencies are patched

0 critical, 2 high severity in production deps — @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.24.3 (high), @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.24.3 (high)

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

// 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.
