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.
knowledge_status查看个人认知库中的议题、认知单元、外部材料、项目空间和待审核候选数量。
retrieve_context根据当前工作任务,检索并组织少量相关个人认知与外部材料。用于在 AI、产品、商业竞争或落地评估任务中无提示词接入知识库。
search_knowledge按关键词、中文语义片段、标签、类别和认知状态检索议题、认知单元与来源。
get_knowledge_item按稳定 ID 读取一条完整的议题、认知单元、外部材料或项目记录。
get_related_knowledge沿显式关系查找支持材料、相关议题和可复用认知单元。
create_update_candidate把讨论或工作中新形成的观点写入待审核区,不会直接修改正式认知库。
confirm_update_candidate仅在用户明确确认某个待审核候选后,将其写入正式认知库。confirmation 必须是 CONFIRMED。
save_daily_topic保存每天唯一的高价值候选议题;只进入候选区,不会自动启动讨论。
get_daily_topic读取指定日期或今天的高价值候选议题。
Disclosed vulnerabilities in this server's declared npm dependencies (via OSV). Whether each is reachable depends on the installed versions.
Model Context Protocol (MCP) TypeScript SDK does not enable DNS rebinding protection by default
Uncaught Exception in yaml
yaml is vulnerable to Stack Overflow via deeply nested YAML collections
COGNITION_WORKBENCH_HOMETool 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
9/9 tools missing one or more hints — knowledge_status (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); retrieve_context (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); search_knowledge (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +6 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
8/9 tool handlers declare input schemas (89%)
Declare an inputSchema with zod/joi/yup on every tool definition.
Tool handlers catch errors
Only 1/9 tool handlers wrap calls in try/catch (11%)
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, 2 high severity in production deps — @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.0.0 (high), yaml@2.0.0 (high)
Run npm audit fix, or upgrade the affected packages to a non-vulnerable version.
