baseline-mcp

Enables read-only interaction with Baseline irrigation controllers, including status, alarms, and historical reporting.

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.

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.

baseline_whoami

Validate the session and return the logged-in user, access level, current company, and assigned controller ids.

baseline_list_companies

List the Baseline organizations (companies) this account can access. Use a companyId to scope baseline_list_controllers, or pin one via BASELINE_COMPANY_ID.

baseline_list_controllers

List sites and controllers (with model, firmware, subscription, device counts) across every organization the account can access. Pass companyId to limit to one org.

baseline_get_status

Live snapshot for a controller: overall status plus per-zone and per-device status codes (Running/Done/Off/Error/etc.) with decoded sensor readings.

baseline_list_zones

Zone configuration for a controller: number, name, decoder serial, enabled state, designed/learned flow, and hydrozone agronomy details.

baseline_get_alarms

Active alarms and faults for a controller (valve short circuits, flow comm failures, dial-off, empty conditions, etc.), decoded with sender device and fault type.

baseline_get_announcements

Vendor proactive notifications (e.g. scheduled server-maintenance banners), as plain text.

baseline_get_report
baseline_list_devices

Enumerate every device on a controller grouped by type (zones, flow meters, moisture/temperature/pressure sensors, master valves, pumps, rain gauges, event switches). Each entry includes the `reportingSn` to pass as deviceSn to baseline_get_history.

baseline_get_programs

List watering programs for a controller with their last start/finish, duration, water used, next scheduled start/finish, and assigned zones. Sourced from the controller config.

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

12/12 tools missing one or more hints — baseline_whoami (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); baseline_list_companies (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); baseline_list_controllers (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +9 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 5/12 tool handlers declare input schemas (42%)

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

Tool handlers catch errors

Only 0/12 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

1 critical, 5 high severity in production deps — fast-xml-parser@4.5.0 (critical), @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.12.0 (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 7 concrete improvements we can share with the publisher of this MCP. Each comes with specific guidance to raise the trust score.
