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.

manage_plates

Add, remove, or list saved license plates for ticket monitoring

check_tickets

Check for open parking tickets by scraping city violation portals. Checks all saved plates if no plate specified.

analyze_ticket

Gather evidence for a specific violation: ticket details, registration cross-ref, Street View imagery, traffic rule lookup, common defenses, and past dispute history

generate_dispute

Format dispute arguments into city-specific form structure. Returns a preview — does NOT submit.

submit_dispute

Submit a previously previewed dispute. Requires confirmed=true as a safety gate.

check_status

Check dispute status via city portal scrape or Gmail search for decision emails

setup_gmail

Launch a visible browser for Gmail login. Saves auth state for headless reuse by check_status.

Dependencies

10 dependencies, 1 flagged: playwright

All four hints declared on every tool

7/7 tools missing one or more hints — manage_plates (missing: idempotentHint); check_tickets (missing: idempotentHint); analyze_ticket (missing: idempotentHint), +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

6/7 tool handlers declare input schemas (86%)

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

License file

No license file

Add a LICENSE file (MIT, Apache-2.0, etc.).

Tests exist

No test files found

Add tests that exercise each declared tool.

Production dependencies are patched

0 critical, 4 high severity in production deps — @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.12.0 (high), @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 5 concrete improvements we can share with the publisher of this MCP. Each comes with specific guidance to raise the trust score.
