The grade above is for the source repository. Registries can serve a different version, so we mark the ones we were not able to read.
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.

Disclosed vulnerabilities in this server's declared npm dependencies (via OSV). Whether each is reachable depends on the installed versions.
@modelcontextprotocol/sdk has cross-client data leak via shared server/transport instance reuse
Anthropic's MCP TypeScript SDK has a ReDoS vulnerability
Model Context Protocol (MCP) TypeScript SDK does not enable DNS rebinding protection by default

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
16/16 tools missing one or more hints — search-drugs (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); get-drug-details (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); get-health-statistics (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +13 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
Only 5/16 tool handlers declare input schemas (31%)
Declare an inputSchema with zod/joi/yup on every tool definition.
Tool test coverage
Only 0/16 tools referenced in tests (0%)
Write tests that reference each tool by name so every tool has at least one test.
No arbitrary install scripts
Has postinstall/preinstall script — runs arbitrary code on npm install
Remove postinstall/preinstall hooks unless they’re essential.
Production dependencies are patched
0 critical, 3 high severity in production deps — @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.15.1 (high), @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.15.1 (high)
Run npm audit fix, or upgrade the affected packages to a non-vulnerable version.
