// tools this server exposes14 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.

read_recent_messages

Read recent iMessages from your Messages app

search_messages

Search for messages by contact name, phone number, or message content

get_conversation

Get full conversation thread with a specific contact or phone number, optionally filtered by time. Shows text content and indicates attachments.

list_chats_structured

List recent chats as structured JSON with chat IDs, handles, last sender, last message preview, group status, and message counts.

get_conversation_by_chat_id

Get a conversation by iMessage chat_id as structured JSON. Use chat_id from list_chats_structured or find_outreach_followups.

find_outreach_followups

Find SMS outreach conversations that need agent review or follow-up. Returns structured candidates with status, risk labels, and evidence snippets.

send_message

Send an iMessage or SMS/RCS to a contact (uses AppleScript). Supports iMessage (blue bubble), SMS/RCS (green bubble), or auto-detection with verified fallback when the auto_sms_fallback release flag is enabled. IMPORTANT: Always show the user the message content and recipient before sending, and get…

detect_message_service

Inspect local Messages history for a recipient and recommend iMessage, SMS/RCS, or auto before sending. This is best-effort because Apple does not expose a direct preflight availability API.

send_message_batch

Preview or send a reviewed SMS/iMessage batch. Preview returns an approval token. Sending requires the same exact batch, confirm=true, and the token.

list_delivery_failures

List recent outgoing messages that Messages marked failed, pending, or potentially recovered by SMS/RCS fallback. Use this to find red Not Delivered bubbles.

list_recent_chats

List recent active conversations, sorted by most recent activity

lookup_contact

Look up a contact name in macOS Contacts to find their phone number or email

react_to_message

React to a message with an emoji (❤️, 👍, 👎, 😂, ‼️, ❓). IMPORTANT: Always show the user which message and reaction before sending, and get explicit confirmation.

get_attachment

Get an attachment (image, file) from a message. Returns images directly so Claude can view and analyze them. Use message IDs from get_conversation results.

// known CVEs in dependencies1 high

Disclosed vulnerabilities in this server's declared npm dependencies (via OSV). Whether each is reachable depends on the installed versions.

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

14/14 tools missing one or more hints — read_recent_messages (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); search_messages (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); get_conversation (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +11 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

5/14 tools referenced in tests (36%)

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

Production dependencies are patched

0 critical, 1 high severity in production deps — @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.25.2 (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 4 concrete improvements we can share with the publisher of this MCP. Each comes with specific guidance to raise the trust score.
