// key findings
⚠️
Tests do not pass
Either the test suite is broken or the code regressed. Either way the published behaviour can’t be verified by the publisher’s own tests.
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.
// tools this server exposes34 tools

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_dependency

Add a dependency relationship between two tasks

add_subtask

Add a subtask to an existing task

add_tag

Create a new tag for organizing tasks in different contexts

add_task

Add a new task using AI

analyze_project_complexity

Analyze task complexity and generate expansion recommendations.

clear_subtasks

Clear subtasks from specified tasks

complexity_report

Display the complexity analysis report in a readable format

copy_tag

Copy an existing tag to create a new tag with all tasks and metadata

delete_tag

Delete an existing tag and all its tasks

expand_all

Expand all pending tasks into subtasks based on complexity or defaults

expand_task

Expand a task into subtasks for detailed implementation

fix_dependencies

Fix invalid dependencies in tasks automatically

generate

Generates individual task files in tasks/ directory based on tasks.json

get_operation_status

Retrieves the status and result/error of a background operation.

get_task

Get detailed information about a specific task

get_tasks

Get all tasks from Task Master, optionally filtering by status and including subtasks.

initialize_project

Initializes a new Task Master project structure by calling the core initialization logic. Creates necessary folders and configuration files for Task Master in the current directory.

list_tags

List all available tags with task counts and metadata

models

Get information about available AI models or set model configurations. Run without arguments to get the current model configuration and API key status for the selected model providers.

move_task

Move a task or subtask to a new position

next_task

Find the next task to work on based on dependencies and status

parse_prd
remove_dependency

Remove a dependency from a task

remove_subtask

Remove a subtask from its parent task

remove_task

Remove a task or subtask permanently from the tasks list

rename_tag

Rename an existing tag

research

Perform AI-powered research queries with project context

rules

Add or remove rule profiles from the project.

set_task_status

Set the status of one or more tasks or subtasks.

update_subtask

Appends timestamped information to a specific subtask without replacing existing content. If you just want to update the subtask status, use set_task_status instead.

update_task

Updates a single task by ID with new information or context provided in the prompt.

update

Update multiple upcoming tasks (with ID >= 'from' ID) based on new context or changes provided in the prompt. Use 'update_task' instead for a single specific task or 'update_subtask' for subtasks.

use_tag

Switch to a different tag context for task operations

validate_dependencies

Check tasks for dependency issues (like circular references or links to non-existent tasks) without making changes.

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

34/34 tools missing one or more hints — add_dependency (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); add_subtask (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); add_tag (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +31 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 test coverage

11/34 tools referenced in tests (32%)

Write tests that reference each tool by name so every tool has at least one test.

Tests pass

npm test failed — tests do not pass

Make sure npm test runs cleanly. Common cause: missing build step or missing env vars.

Dependency freshness

3/36 production deps abandoned (no release in 2+ years): cli-highlight@2023-04-12 (3.4y), cli-table3@2024-05-12 (2.3y), boxen@2024-08-05 (2.1y)

// 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 4 concrete improvements we can share with the publisher of this MCP. Each comes with specific guidance to raise the trust score.
