rlm-mcp-server

Provides recursive language model capabilities to AI assistants, enabling efficient exploration of large contexts through iterative Python code execution.

Emerging. No concerning findings. Grades remain capped until the project builds reputation through adoption. Grades reflect the full trust pyramid: code, verification depth, and reputation. New projects cap at C until adoption is earned.

// key findings
No credential exfiltration, no sensitive file access, no obfuscation
Static analysis found nothing flowing your secrets to unexpected places.
🔐
You'll be asked for 2 credentials: RLM_API_KEY, OPENAI_API_KEY
These are read from process.env at runtime. Make sure you trust where they’ll be sent.

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.

rlm_load_context

Load a large context into an RLM session for programmatic exploration. USE THIS WHEN: You have a document, codebase, or dataset too large to analyze directly in your context window. RLM lets you explore it by writing Python code (searching, parsing, counting, extracting). WORKFLOW: 1. Call rlm_load_

rlm_load_file

Load a file into an RLM session. Args: file_path: Path to the file to load context_name: Variable name to use in the REPL (default: CONTEXT) description: Optional description of what this file contains Returns: Session info including session_id to use for queries

rlm_list_sessions

List all active RLM sessions. Returns: List of session info dictionaries

rlm_close_session

Close and remove an RLM session to free memory. Args: session_id: The session ID to close Returns: Status message

rlm_query

Ask a question about loaded context - RLM explores it programmatically. HOW IT WORKS: Instead of reading the whole document, RLM iteratively writes Python code to search/parse/analyze the content until it can answer your question. This allows analyzing content far larger than any context window. PRE

rlm_quick_query

One-shot RLM: load content and ask a question in a single call. USE THIS FOR: Quick analysis when you only have one question about the content. Automatically cleans up the session afterward. USE rlm_load_context + rlm_query INSTEAD when: - User might ask follow-up questions about the same content -

rlm_execute_code

Execute Python code directly against a loaded context. This is for power users who want to explore the context manually without the LLM loop. The code has access to CONTEXT (or whatever the context_name is) as a variable. Available in REPL: - CONTEXT (or your context_name): the loaded text - re: reg

rlm_config

Get current RLM server configuration. Returns: Current configuration settings

// 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.
configRLM_MODELPrimary model for RLM
configRLM_SUB_MODELModel for iterations (can be cheaper)
configRLM_MAX_ITERATIONSMax exploration iterations
configRLM_API_BASEAPI endpoint (for local models)

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

8/8 tools missing one or more hints — rlm_load_context (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); rlm_load_file (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); rlm_list_sessions (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +5 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.

License file

No license file

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

Tool test coverage

Only 2/8 tools referenced in tests (25%)

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

Secrets not logged

5 secret values sent to print

Redact or omit secret values from log output.

// 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.
