// key findings

🚨

Reads files from sensitive locations

Touches: ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

🔐

You'll be asked for 3 credentials: YAHBOOM_GEMINI_API_KEY, YAHBOOM_PASSWORD, TAPO_PASSWORD

These are read from process.env at runtime. Make sure you trust where they’ll be sent.

// tools this server exposes13 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.

yahboom_tool

Unified control for Yahboom Raspbot v2 (ROS 2 Humble).

yahboom_demo

Boomy show-floor demos: floor chalk art, social talkbot, and the interaction demos (dog meeting + cafe host).

yahboom_agentic_workflow

Achieve a high-level robot goal by planning and executing a sequence of operations (SEP-1577). Uses sampling to let the LLM call get_robot_health, move_robot, and read_sensors as sub-tools.

yahboom_help_tool

Multi-level help system for the Yahboom MCP server. Supports drill-down: category (motion/sensors/connection/api/mcp_tools/startup/troubleshooting), then topic within each category.

ros_topic_list

List all active ROS 2 topics and their message types. Provides full visibility into the robot's sensory and control stack.

ros_node_info

Get detailed information about a specific ROS 2 node. Reveals publishers, subscribers, and services for the specified node.

ros_resync

Force a re-discovery of all ROS 2 topics and re-subscribe to sensors. Use this if telemetry (Battery, IMU) is missing while wheels still work.

ros_restart_bringup

Remotely restart the Yahboom bringup nodes via SSH. Use this as a 'Nuclear Option' if the robot is unresponsive or nodes are missing.

lidar

LIDAR and map data from Yahboom or Dreame D20 Pro.

yahboom_agent_mission

LLM mission planner: natural-language goal (e.g. \"find Benny\") → structured JSON plan (intent, behavior, target_description, optional nav2_goal, …). Same logic as POST /api/v1/agent/mission.

audio

Play/store/manage audio files through the USB voice module speaker.

query_logs

Query the in-memory log ring buffer for recent log entries.

yahboom_shutdown

Gracefully shut down the Yahboom MCP server process.

// 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.

Tool annotations

7/13 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

13/13 tools missing one or more hints — yahboom_tool (missing: openWorldHint); yahboom_demo (missing: openWorldHint); yahboom_agentic_workflow (missing: openWorldHint), +10 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 test coverage

5/13 tools referenced in tests (38%)

Write tests that reference each tool by name so every tool has at least one test.

No access to sensitive paths

Reads sensitive paths: ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

Remove reads of sensitive system paths. If you genuinely need them, document why in the README.

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 4 concrete improvements we can share with the publisher of this MCP. Each comes with specific guidance to raise the trust score.
