// key findings
⚠️
Tool descriptions don’t match what handlers do
3 tools describe read intent but their handlers mutate — kde_store_list_installed (line 27: KdeCli.exec("kpackagetool6", ["-t", type, "-l"], 10000)); kde_system_info (line 13: KdeCli.exec("plasmashell", ["--version"])); list_kde_themes (line 104: KdeCli.exec("plasma-apply-lookandfeel", ["--list-themes"]))
⚠️
Known vulnerabilities in dependencies: 1 high
Affects packages this MCP installs at runtime. Upgrade or remove the affected dependency.
No credential exfiltration, no sensitive file access, no obfuscation

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.

generate_kde_colorscheme

Generate a complete KDE Plasma color scheme from 3 base hex colors (background, foreground, accent) and auto-derive all 40+ color entries. Writes to ~/.local/share/color-schemes/ and applies it immediately.

set_kde_fonts

Change KDE Plasma system fonts (general, fixed-width, and small fonts). Uses comma-separated KDE font descriptor format: 'Family,PointSize,Style,Weight,Width,Spacing,FixedPitch,Stretch'.

set_kde_cursors

Change the KDE Plasma mouse cursor theme and size.

get_kde_fonts_and_cursors

Read current KDE Plasma font and cursor configuration.

get_kde_nightlight

Read the current KWin Night Light (blue light filter) configuration including enabled state, temperature, color temperature, mode, and schedule.

set_kde_nightlight

Configure KWin Night Light (blue light filter). Can enable/disable, adjust color temperature (3000-6500K), and set automatic scheduling.

kde_store_list_installed

List installed KDE Store packages filtered by type (LookAndFeel, PlasmaTheme, etc.).

kde_store_install

Install a package from the KDE Store by name. Downloads and activates the package via kpackagetool6.

kde_store_remove

Remove an installed KDE Store package by name.

kde_system_info

Query detailed system information: KDE Plasma version, KDE Frameworks version, compositor status/backend, GPU details, and display configuration.

kde_power_profile

Get or set the system power profile (power-saver, balanced, performance) using powerprofilesctl.

kde_screen_lock

Lock the screen, start a screensaver, or simulate user activity to prevent screen lock.

get_kde_settings

Read all current KDE Plasma settings: global theme, color scheme, cursors, fonts, icons, wallpaper per virtual desktop, compositor, night light, and window decoration.

set_kde_theme

Change the global KDE Plasma look-and-feel theme (applies theme, colors, window decorations, and cursors from a single theme package).

set_kde_colorscheme

Change the KDE Plasma color scheme independently of the global theme.

list_kde_themes

List available look-and-feel themes, color schemes, cursor themes, and icon themes installed on the system.

set_kde_wallpaper

Set the desktop wallpaper for all virtual desktops. Provide either a local image path or a solid color.

get_kde_wallpaper

Read the current wallpaper configuration for all virtual desktops.

kde_window_management

List, manipulate, or query windows via KWin D-Bus. Supports listing all windows, closing, minimizing, maximizing, restoring, and activating specific windows by ID.

kde_virtual_desktops

Manage KWin virtual desktops: list, add, remove, switch to, or rename desktops.

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

20/20 tools missing one or more hints — generate_kde_colorscheme (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); set_kde_fonts (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); set_kde_cursors (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +17 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.

Descriptions match behaviour

3 tools describe read intent but their handlers mutate — kde_store_list_installed (line 27: KdeCli.exec("kpackagetool6", ["-t", type, "-l"], 10000)); kde_system_info (line 13: KdeCli.exec("plasmashell", ["--version"])); list_kde_themes (line 104: KdeCli.exec("plasma-apply-lookandfeel", ["--list-themes"]))

Rename the tool, rewrite the description, or move the side-effect into a separate clearly-named tool.

Tool inputs are validated

15/20 tool handlers declare input schemas (75%)

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

Tool handlers catch errors

Only 3/20 tool handlers wrap calls in try/catch (15%)

Wrap each tool handler body in try/catch and return a structured error response.

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.

Shell command execution

28 child_process calls — runs shell commands

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

Production dependencies are patched

0 critical, 1 high severity in production deps — @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.0.0 (high), zod@3.22.0 (low)

Run npm audit fix, or upgrade the affected packages to a non-vulnerable version.

Tool description accuracy

4 tools have description/behavior mismatches: kde_store_list_installed: description implies read-only but handler writes/deletes/executes; kde_system_info: description implies read-only but handler writes/deletes/executes; set_kde_theme: description implies read-only but handler writes/deletes/executes

Update tool descriptions to accurately reflect all capabilities — especially write, delete, or execute operations.

// 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 10 concrete improvements we can share with the publisher of this MCP. Each comes with specific guidance to raise the trust score.
