// key findings
🚨
Secret credentials may flow to a network call
3 flows detected: SCITEX_HUB_API_KEY. We can’t prove the destination matches the brand the credential belongs to.
🚨
Code appears obfuscated
2 files are unreadable to a human reviewer. Cannot audit what they do.
🚨
Known vulnerabilities in dependencies: 1 critical, 3 high
Affects packages this MCP installs at runtime. Upgrade or remove the affected dependency.
🔐
You'll be asked for 8 credentials: SCITEX_HUB_API_KEY, SCITEX_HUB_ORCID_CLIENT_SECRET, SCITEX_HUB_GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET, SCITEX_HUB_TEST_USER_PASSWORD, SCITEX_HUB_CAMPAIGN_API_KEY, SCITEX_HUB_ONSITE_SECRET, DEMO_PASSWORD, SCITEX_HUB_ADMIN_PASSWORD
These are read from process.env at runtime. Make sure you trust where they’ll be sent.
// tools this server exposes7 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.

app_get_current

Use when the user asks which SciTeX app is active, wants to know the current context, or mentions app switching; replaces `scitex-hub app current` CLI invocations when the agent needs to introspect which app is selected (reads SCITEX_CURRENT_APP).

app_switch_to

Use when the user asks to switch apps, change to writer/scholar/etc., or mentions activating a different SciTeX app; replaces `scitex-hub app switch <name>` CLI invocations (sets SCITEX_CURRENT_APP).

app_list_all

Use when the user asks what SciTeX apps exist, to enumerate the app registry, or to pick an app; replaces `scitex-hub app list` CLI invocations when the agent needs to introspect available apps (names, labels, icons, ordering).

app_get_info

Use when the user asks for details, metadata, or manifest of a specific SciTeX app; replaces `scitex-hub app info <name>` CLI invocations when the agent needs to introspect an app's config.

app_check_deps

Use when the user asks to verify an app's dependencies, check if python/node/system/R packages are installed, or diagnose a missing-dependency error for a SciTeX app; replaces `scitex-hub app check-deps` CLI invocations.

app_get_prefs

Use when the user asks for saved app settings, preferences, or config for a SciTeX app; replaces `scitex-hub app prefs get <name>` CLI invocations when the agent needs to introspect persisted user preferences.

app_set_prefs

Use when the user asks to save/update/merge preferences or settings for a SciTeX app; replaces `scitex-hub app prefs set <name> <json>` CLI invocations (merges with existing prefs; does not replace).

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

7/7 tools missing one or more hints — app_get_current (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); app_switch_to (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); app_list_all (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.

No eval / new Function

1 eval() or new Function() call — dynamic code execution

Replace eval / Function with explicit parsing or safer alternatives.

Shell command execution

2 calls in production code run through a shell (vite.config.ts:32, vite.entries.ts:95)

Prefer library functions over shell-outs. If you must shell out, ensure all inputs are properly escaped.

Readable source code

2 files are minified or bundled, which is usually build output rather than concealment

Ship unminified, readable source.

Production dependencies are patched

0 critical, 1 high severity in production deps — fabric@5.3.0 (high), fabric@5.3.0 (low)

Run npm audit fix, or upgrade the affected packages to a non-vulnerable version.

Dev dependencies

3 critical/high in dev-only deps (does not ship to users)

Upgrade dev dependencies when convenient.

Dependency freshness

1/14 production deps stale: dagre@2022-06-14 (4.3y)

// 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 7 concrete improvements we can share with the publisher of this MCP. Each comes with specific guidance to raise the trust score.
