Use this when the widget selection changes and Codex must target the same selected shapes.

save_coart_view_state

Use this when the widget needs to persist the active page and camera.

get_coart_selection

Use this when a generation or edit workflow needs the current persisted Coart selection.

save_coart_reference_image

Use this when the widget provides a reference or annotation image that must be saved inside canvas assets.

read_coart_asset

Use this when a workflow needs to read one project-local /assets/... item as base64.

9/10 tool handlers declare input schemas (90%)

Declare an inputSchema with zod/joi/yup on every tool definition.

Tool handlers catch errors

Only 0/10 tool handlers wrap calls in try/catch (0%)

Wrap each tool handler body in try/catch and return a structured error response.

Tests exist

No test files found

Add tests that exercise each declared tool.

Shell command execution

1 child_process call — runs shell commands

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

Production dependencies are patched

0 critical, 2 high severity in production deps — vite@7.0.0 (high), vite@7.0.0 (high)

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

// 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 5 concrete improvements we can share with the publisher of this MCP. Each comes with specific guidance to raise the trust score.
