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.

// key findings
✅
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 exposes7 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.

lsp_rename

Rename symbol via LSP. DANGEROUS.

github_issue_create

Create a GitHub issue. Requires gh auth login OR GitHub Token in Settings. DANGEROUS.

github_issue_list

List GitHub issues. Requires gh auth login OR GitHub Token + repo param. Read-only.

github_pr_create

Create a GitHub PR. Requires gh auth login OR GitHub Token + repo+head params. DANGEROUS.

sandbox_init

Create a Shadow Workspace (Sandbox) in .aether/shadow/ for safe experimentation. Mirrors the current project into the shadow directory, skipping node_modules, .git, and .aether. Returns the absolute path of the new shadow workspace. Read-only tool.

sandbox_apply

Apply changes from the Shadow Workspace (.aether/shadow/) back to the main workspace. DANGEROUS.

generate_repo_map

Generates a condensed structural map of the repository (Repo Map) to help understand the project topology and key function/class signatures. Best used before planning large changes.

// environment variables
To run this server yourself, you supply these values. They go in your own MCP client configuration and stay on your machine. The secret label means the value is sensitive, not that the server mishandles it.

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

7/7 tools missing one or more hints — lsp_rename (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); github_issue_create (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); github_issue_list (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +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 test coverage

4/7 tools referenced in tests (57%)

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

Shell command execution

2 calls in production code run through a shell (electron/context/repoMap.js:44, electron/ipc/arena.handler.js:70)

Prefer library functions over shell-outs. If you must shell out, ensure all inputs are properly escaped.

No arbitrary install scripts

Has postinstall/preinstall script — runs arbitrary code on npm install

Remove postinstall/preinstall hooks unless they’re essential.

Claim the listing to review these findings one by one and send us a correction where you disagree, straight to the team. Claiming also means we tell you when the grade moves, and reach you first if we find anything urgent.

// 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.
