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.

kura_search

Perform semantic search across KURA Notes. Returns relevant notes based on the query with metadata.

kura_create

Create a new text note in KURA Notes. Use this to capture ideas, information, or any text content.

kura_get

Retrieve a specific note by its ID. Returns the full content and metadata.

kura_list_recent

List the 20 most recent notes with their metadata (without full content). Use this to get an overview of recent activity.

kura_delete

Delete a note by its ID. This action is permanent and cannot be undone.

// 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

5/5 tools missing one or more hints — kura_search (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); kura_create (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); kura_get (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +2 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.

Tests exist

No test files found

Add tests that exercise each declared tool.

Secrets stay with their owner

1 secret sent to a request target we could not resolve (API_KEY → dynamic) — often a configured endpoint, not necessarily third-party

Audit where credentials are sent. A NOTION_TOKEN should only reach api.notion.com — never a third-party host.

Secrets not logged

1 secret value sent to error

Redact or omit secret values from log output.

Production dependencies are patched

0 critical, 3 high severity in production deps — @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.23.0 (high), @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.23.0 (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 6 concrete improvements we can share with the publisher of this MCP. Each comes with specific guidance to raise the trust score.
