The grade above is for the source repository. Registries can serve a different version, so we mark the ones we were not able to read.
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.

Disclosed vulnerabilities in this server's declared npm dependencies (via OSV). Whether each is reachable depends on the installed versions.
md-to-pdf vulnerable to arbitrary JavaScript code execution when parsing front matter
@modelcontextprotocol/sdk has cross-client data leak via shared server/transport instance reuse
Anthropic's MCP TypeScript SDK has a ReDoS vulnerability
Model Context Protocol (MCP) TypeScript SDK does not enable DNS rebinding protection by default
markdown-it is has a Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS)

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
17/17 tools missing one or more hints — parse_job_requirements (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); generate_cv_data (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); generate_and_save_cv_pdf (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +14 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.
Destructive tools are labelled
1 tool perform destructive updates without destructiveHint — save_cover_letter_pdf deletes at line 1009 (fs.unlink(tempHtmlPath))
Add destructiveHint:true to any tool whose handler calls .delete(), .upsert(), .update(), unlink, rm, DELETE, DROP, REPLACE INTO, or any operation that overwrites existing data.
Tests exist
No test files found
Add tests that exercise each declared tool.
Production dependencies are patched
1 critical, 3 high severity in production deps — md-to-pdf@5.2.4 (critical), @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.20.0 (high)
Run npm audit fix, or upgrade the affected packages to a non-vulnerable version.
