sql-steward (govern-agents/sql-steward) is an MCP server listed on the M8ven Trust Index. M8ven has not graded it: we have no way to read this server ourselves. No publisher has claimed this listing.
A governed SQL gateway that exposes typed tools to AI agents, compiling safe read-only queries from a semantic layer while blocking PII before execution, supporting SQL Server, Postgres, and SQLite.
Limited view. Automated analysis covers part of this stack. Findings reflect what we verified. Grades reflect the full trust pyramid: code, verification depth, and reputation. New projects cap at C until adoption is earned.
Limited view: static analysis for Python is partially covered.

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
7/7 tools missing one or more hints — list_entities (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); describe_entity (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); list_metrics (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +4 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
4/7 tool handlers declare input schemas (57%)
Declare an inputSchema with zod/joi/yup on every tool definition.
Tool handlers catch errors
Only 1/7 tool handlers wrap calls in try/catch (14%)
Wrap each tool handler body in try/catch and return a structured error response.
Tests exist
No test files found
Add tests that exercise each declared tool.
