// key findings
✅
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.
🔐
You'll be asked for 1 credential: FILESYSTEM_MCP_API_KEY
These are read from process.env at runtime. Make sure you trust where they’ll be sent.
// known CVEs in dependencies4 low

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

lowre2@1.24.0GHSA-6hxr-mr5r-9836

re2: Global `String.prototype.match` with an empty-matchable pattern never advances → infinite loop with unbounded native memory growth (DoS)

lowre2@1.24.0GHSA-8hcv-x26h-mcgp

node-re2: String.prototype.replace(re2, template) aborts the Node process (uncatchable ToLocalChecked on empty MaybeLocal) when the result exceeds V8's max string length

lowre2@1.24.0GHSA-ff84-5f28-78qj

re2: Out-of-bounds heap read in `exec`/`test`/`match` via attacker-influenced `lastIndex` on a non-ASCII subject → uncatchable process crash (DoS)

lowre2@1.24.0GHSA-j4r3-hg7j-8chg

node-re2: Out-of-bounds heap read in `replace`/`split` via a `Buffer` ending in a truncated multi-byte UTF-8 character → adjacent heap memory disclosed to JavaScript

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

18/18 tools missing one or more hints — apply_patch (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); calculate_hash (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); mkdir (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +15 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.

Claim the listing to review these findings one by one and send us a correction where you disagree, straight to the team. Claiming also means we tell you when the grade moves, and reach you first if we find anything urgent.

// 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 2 concrete improvements we can share with the publisher of this MCP. Each comes with specific guidance to raise the trust score.
