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.

check_siril_version

Runs 'siril --version' on the local machine and returns the version string.

find_siril_binary

Locates the Siril binary on your system and returns its path. This is useful for troubleshooting installation issues or confirming which version of Siril will be used.

validate_siril_binary

Tests whether a specific Siril binary path works correctly. Useful for validating custom installations or non-standard locations.

process_seestar_mosaic

Runs the appropriate Siril .ssf mosaic script on all FIT(S) in project_dir/lights, stacking them into a mosaic according to Seestar S30/S50 conventions.

preprocess_with_gui

Launches the full Naztronomy-Smart_Telescope_PP.py GUI in headless mode. (Requires sirilpy installed and a display server.)

download_latest_ssf_scripts

Downloads the latest SSF script files from the naztronaut/siril-scripts repository and saves them to your project directory. This ensures you have the most up-to-date versions of the Siril scripts.

check_project_structure

Checks and displays the structure of a Seestar project directory, showing what files are present and what might be missing.

// known CVEs in dependencies3 high

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 — check_siril_version (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); find_siril_binary (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); validate_siril_binary (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.

Tool inputs are validated

5/7 tool handlers declare input schemas (71%)

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

Tool handlers catch errors

5/7 tool handlers wrap calls in try/catch (71%)

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.

Production dependencies are patched

0 critical, 3 high severity in production deps — @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.17.0 (high), @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.17.0 (high)

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

Tool description accuracy

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