M8ven verifies MCPs across every public registry — install directly from whichever one you prefer.
Disclosed vulnerabilities in this server's declared npm dependencies (via OSV). Whether each is reachable depends on the installed versions.

6/389 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
383/389 tools missing one or more hints — setup (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); resolve_control (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); layout_presets (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +380 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.
Destructive tools are labelled
6 tools perform destructive updates without destructiveHint — gallery_stills deletes at line 25369 (os.remove(f["path"])); fusion_comp deletes at line 26884 (os.remove(settings_path)); fuse_plugin deletes at line 27115 (os.unlink(path))
Add destructiveHint:true to any tool whose handler calls .delete(), .upsert(), .update(), unlink, rm, DELETE, DROP, REPLACE INTO, or any operation that overwrites existing data.
Tool test coverage
Only 88/389 tools referenced in tests (23%)
Write tests that reference each tool by name so every tool has at least one test.
No access to sensitive paths
Reads sensitive paths: ~/.config/davinci-resolve-mcp/host-model-probe.json, ~/.config/davinci-resolve-mcp
Remove reads of sensitive system paths. If you genuinely need them, document why in the README.
Shell command execution
16 child_process/subprocess calls in production code — runs shell commands (bin/davinci-resolve-mcp.mjs:183, bin/davinci-resolve-mcp.mjs:236, bin/davinci-resolve-mcp.mjs:321)
Prefer library functions over shell-outs. If you must shell out, ensure all inputs are properly escaped.
Secrets never reach shell commands
1 secret value passed to shell commands — possible command injection
Never pass secrets through shell commands. Use library APIs that accept credentials as arguments.
Production dependencies are patched
0 critical, 2 high severity in production deps — adm-zip@0.5.17 (high), fast-xml-parser@5.9.3 (high)
Run npm audit fix, or upgrade the affected packages to a non-vulnerable version.
Dependency freshness
2/8 production deps stale: fzstd@2024-03-15 (2.4y), zstd-codec@2024-07-27 (2.1y)

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.
