GIA MCP Server (knowledgepa3/gia-mcp-server) is an MCP server listed on the M8ven Trust Index. It scores 78 out of 100, grade B. It declares 57 tools. The publisher has proved control of what we score (Verified Publisher).
Governance Intelligence Architecture (GIA) is a governance-first MCP server that provides approval gates, auditable decision logs, compliance mapping, and operational safety controls for Claude agents. It connects Claude Desktop and Claude Code to a hosted governance control plane for secure, production-grade AI workflows.
Emerging. No concerning findings. Grades remain capped until the project builds reputation through adoption. Grades reflect the full trust pyramid: code, verification depth, and reputation. New projects cap at C until adoption is earned.

45/57 tools have annotations
Add readOnlyHint or destructiveHint annotations to every tool so hosts can warn users before invoking.
All four hints declared on every tool
12/57 tools missing one or more hints — agent_rights (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); approve_gate (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); branch_authority_status (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +9 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.
openWorldHint matches behaviour
1 tool claims openWorldHint=false but make outbound HTTP — generate_value_report → dynamic (line 42)
Either flip openWorldHint to true (acknowledging external reach) or refactor the handler to avoid outbound HTTP. If the only network calls are to a known fixed endpoint that you consider part of the tool itself, document that and keep openWorldHint=false; otherwise true is honest.
Tool test coverage
30/57 tools referenced in tests (53%)
Write tests that reference each tool by name so every tool has at least one test.
Secrets not logged
1 secret value sent to error
Redact or omit secret values from log output.

Add it once and ask Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP client to grade a server, surface CVEs, check the publisher, and suggest safer alternatives — before you install.
