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.

business_search

Look up a U.S. company's official Secretary of State business registration across 25 states (KYB). Returns registration records (status, dates, registered agent). Use the full or partial company name.

new_business_filings

Pull newly registered U.S. businesses from official state sources (10 states), windowed by date. Useful for sales-lead feeds and monitoring brand-new companies.

watchlist_screen

Screen a person or business name against 12 U.S. government watchlists (OFAC SDN, BIS Entity/Denied/Unverified/MEU, State Dept Debarred/ISN, and more) via the Consolidated Screening List. Returns fuzzy-matched records. NOTE: name-based matching, NOT identity confirmation — verify any hit against the…

federal_awards

Look up a U.S. company's federal contracts, grants, and loans (USAspending.gov) with amounts, agencies, and dates. Useful for B2G sales intel and due diligence.

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

4/4 tools missing one or more hints — business_search (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); new_business_filings (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint); watchlist_screen (missing: readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint, openWorldHint), +1 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.

Tests exist

No test files found

Add tests that exercise each declared tool.

Production dependencies are patched

0 critical, 3 high severity in production deps — @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.10.0 (high), @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.10.0 (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.
