// key findings

✅

12 tools verified — handlers match their declared behaviour

8 read-only tools verified — handlers contain no write/delete/exec

✅

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.

// tools this server exposes12 tools

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.

brain_search

Search prior knowledge and return source-grounded results.

brain_get

Return a canonical note by its stable identifier.

brain_list_by_date

List notes by source-conversation date using YYYY-MM-DD bounds.

brain_list_by_label

List notes connected to one or more canonical labels.

brain_recommend_workflow

Recommend active workflows relevant to a task or problem.

brain_get_workflow

Return one active workflow with its evidence references.

brain_record_feedback

Update a workflow confidence score from a reported outcome.

brain_record_search_feedback

Persist explicit relevance feedback for search results.

brain_health

Return non-sensitive health for Vault, gateway, and Neo4j.

brain_learning_status

Return non-sensitive learning progress and active workflow count.

brain_ingest_session

Ingest transcript JSONL over MCP without filesystem mounts.

brain_remember

Store a sanitized durable memory in the canonical work Vault.

// environment variables

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.

// quality suggestions

All four hints declared on every tool

8/12 tools missing one or more hints — brain_search (missing: destructiveHint); brain_get (missing: destructiveHint); brain_list_by_date (missing: destructiveHint), +5 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 1 concrete improvement we can share with the publisher of this MCP. Each comes with specific guidance to raise the trust score.
