What we checked

Six static checks, weighted by risk. Every result reflects only what could be observed in the published package and repository — never intent.

• Injection surface

  warn25% of grade

  Tool descriptions/manifest scanned for instruction-injection patterns (imperatives at the model, hidden text, 'ignore previous', data-exfil URLs).

  tool "search_active_cars" param "high_value_features" description: bare 'IMPORTANT:' prose in a description (tag form is high-confidence; prose is warn). tool "search_active_cars" param "options_packages" description: bare 'IMPORTANT:' prose in a description (tag form is high-confidence; prose is warn). tool "search_past_90_days" description: bare 'IMPORTANT:' prose in a description (tag form is high-confidence; prose is warn). tool "search_uk_active_cars" description: bare 'IMPORTANT:' prose in a description (tag form is high-confidence; prose is warn). tool "search_uk_recent_cars" description: bare 'IMPORTANT:' prose in a description (tag form is high-confidence; prose is warn).

• Supply chain

  pass25% of grade

  Package provenance: namespace verification, repo linkage, maintainer count, account age, postinstall scripts, typosquat distance.

  repository linkage verified

• Credential hygiene

  pass15% of grade

  How the server takes secrets (env vs plaintext config vs hardcoded); secrets appearing in tool schemas.

  No hardcoded secrets, secret-shaped tool parameters, or leaked keys found. PASS = no static red flag; static analysis cannot prove the code honors env-based secret handling at runtime.

• Permission scope

  unscannable15% of grade

  Declared tools vs. breadth (filesystem, network, exec); flags shell-exec and unbounded filesystem access.

  No source files, package.json, or pyproject were fetched; cannot infer capability scope.

• Version behavior

  warn10% of grade

  Diff of tool definitions between versions; new permissions or changed descriptions in a patch release (the postmark-mcp class).

  vs prior 1.1.0 (minor bump): new tool "search_active_cars" touches a sensitive surface (email/exec/net/fs); new tool "search_past_90_days" touches a sensitive surface (email/exec/net/fs); new tool "predict_price_with_comparables" appeared; new tool "get_car_history" appeared; new tool "decode_vin_neovin" appeared; new tool "get_server_info" appeared; new tool "search_uk_active_cars" touches a sensitive surface (email/exec/net/fs); new tool "search_uk_recent_cars" touches a sensitive surface (email/exec/net/fs); new tool "get_sold_summary" appeared.

• Transport config

  pass10% of grade

  Remote servers: TLS and auth mode (none/token/OAuth). Local servers: whether the manifest indicates it phones home.

  remote endpoint "https://developers.marketcheck.com/api/mcp" uses TLS (https); remote endpoint uses OAuth (strongest auth mode)
