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

  pass25% of grade

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

  Scanned 384 text field(s); no instruction-injection patterns found. PASS = no static red flag. A server can serve different tool descriptions at runtime (the rug-pull class), which static scanning cannot see.

• Supply chain

  warn25% of grade

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

  no resolvable repository linked to the package (provenance unverifiable)

• 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

  fail10% of grade

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

  vs prior 0.3.2 (patch bump): new tool "start_here" appeared; new tool "list_market_moods" touches a sensitive surface (email/exec/net/fs); new tool "get_mood_for_ticker" appeared; new tool "get_today_mood_changes" appeared; new tool "get_market_pulse" appeared; new tool "get_price_alignment" appeared; new tool "get_crypto_price_alignment" appeared; new tool "compare_tickers" appeared; new tool "list_securities_by" appeared; new tool "get_ticker_metadata" appeared; new tool "search_instruments" appeared; new tool "get_sector_returns" appeared; new tool "get_industry_returns" appeared; new tool "get_income_statement" appeared; new tool "get_balance_sheet" appeared; new tool "get_cash_flow" appeared; new tool "get_dividends" appeared; new tool "get_earnings_estimates" appeared; new tool "get_macro_indicators" appeared; new tool "get_market_calendar" appeared; new tool "get_valuation_inputs" appeared; new tool "get_close_history" appeared; new tool "get_earnings_transcript" appeared; new tool "get_insider_transactions" appeared; new tool "get_market_movers" appeared; new tool "get_institutional_holdings" appeared; new tool "discover_community_watchlists" appeared; new tool "get_watchlist_by_slug" appeared; new tool "get_instrument_popularity" touches a sensitive surface (email/exec/net/fs); new tool "get_curated_lists" touches a sensitive surface (email/exec/net/fs); new tool "get_fundamentals" appeared; new tool "get_news" appeared; new tool "get_etf_profile" appeared; new tool "get_instrument_overview" appeared; new tool "about_us" appeared; new tool "get_pricing" appeared; new tool "whoami" appeared; new tool "get_my_watchlists" touches a sensitive surface (email/exec/net/fs); new tool "search_my_watchlists" appeared; new tool "check_ticker_in_my_watchlists" appeared; new tool "list_my_trades" touches a sensitive surface (email/exec/net/fs); new tool "get_my_journal_stats" appeared; new tool "get_my_trust_score" touches a sensitive surface (email/exec/net/fs); new tool "get_my_cocreator_status" appeared; new tool "get_my_briefing" touches a sensitive surface (email/exec/net/fs); new tool "create_watchlist" appeared; new tool "add_to_watchlist" appeared; new tool "remove_from_watchlist" appeared; new tool "follow_watchlist" appeared; new tool "unfollow_watchlist" appeared; new tool "update_watchlist" appeared; new tool "delete_watchlist" touches a sensitive surface (email/exec/net/fs); new tool "log_trade" appeared; new tool "close_trade" appeared; new tool "update_trade" appeared; new tool "delete_trade" touches a sensitive surface (email/exec/net/fs); new tool "import_trades" touches a sensitive surface (email/exec/net/fs).

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