🛰️ Steampipe MCP Server

This MCP server translates the user query to a steam pipe query that could be run on downstream cloud to fetch information on resources

Caution. Specific findings reduced this grade. They are listed on the page. Grades reflect the full trust pyramid: code, verification depth, and reputation. New projects cap at C until adoption is earned.

// key findings
⚠️
Tool descriptions don’t match what handlers do
1 tool describes read intent but its handler mutates — steampipe_query (line 35: result = subprocess.run()
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.

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.

add

Add two numbers

steampipe_query

Executes a Steampipe SQL query just like in the terminal and returns the output.

// quality suggestions

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

2/2 tools missing one or more hints — add (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); steampipe_query (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint). 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.

Descriptions match behaviour

1 tool describes read intent but its handler mutates — steampipe_query (line 35: result = subprocess.run()

Rename the tool, rewrite the description, or move the side-effect into a separate clearly-named tool.

Tool handlers catch errors

1/2 tool handlers wrap calls in try/catch (50%)

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.

Tool description accuracy

steampipe_query: description implies read-only but handler writes/deletes/executes

Update tool descriptions to accurately reflect all capabilities — especially write, delete, or execute operations.

// 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 6 concrete improvements we can share with the publisher of this MCP. Each comes with specific guidance to raise the trust score.
