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
unscannable25% of gradeTool descriptions/manifest scanned for instruction-injection patterns (imperatives at the model, hidden text, 'ignore previous', data-exfil URLs).
No tool descriptions, server instructions, prompts, or resources were fetched; nothing to scan for injection.
Supply chain
fail25% of gradePackage provenance: namespace verification, repo linkage, maintainer count, account age, postinstall scripts, typosquat distance.
Python build script executes at build time: network call in build script
Credential hygiene
warn15% of gradeHow the server takes secrets (env vs plaintext config vs hardcoded); secrets appearing in tool schemas.
tests/test_ai_analysis_service.py: assigns a literal to api_key ($OPE…EY (len 15)) — non-provider secret literal; prefer environment intake. tests/test_ai_analysis_service.py: assigns a literal to api_key ($ANT…EY (len 14)) — non-provider secret literal; prefer environment intake. tests/test_ai_analysis_service.py: assigns a literal to api_key (gemi…ey (len 14)) — non-provider secret literal; prefer environment intake. tests/test_ai_analysis_service.py: assigns a literal to api_key (secr…ey (len 17)) — non-provider secret literal; prefer environment intake. tests/test_ai_analysis_service.py: assigns a literal to api_key ($GEM…EY (len 15)) — non-provider secret literal; prefer environment intake. tests/test_bw_resolver.py: embeds a PRIVATE KEY block. (in an example/sample file — lower severity, but a real key here still leaks.) tests/test_cli_ssh.py: embeds a PRIVATE KEY block. (in an example/sample file — lower severity, but a real key here still leaks.) tests/test_config_sync_service.py: assigns a literal to api_key (sk-s…ey (len 13)) — non-provider secret literal; prefer environment intake. tests/test_ephemeral_key.py: embeds a PRIVATE KEY block. (in an example/sample file — lower severity, but a real key here still leaks.) tests/test_incident_response_tools.py: assigns a literal to password ({_SE…W} (len 12)) — non-provider secret literal; prefer environment intake. tests/test_relay_log.py: assigns a literal to token (secr…ue (len 12)) — non-provider secret literal; prefer environment intake. Reads secrets from the environment (e.g. scripts/demo_fleet.py) — the recommended intake shape.
Permission scope

Version behavior
unscannable10% of gradeDiff of tool definitions between versions; new permissions or changed descriptions in a patch release (the postmark-mcp class).
no prior version to diff (first sight of dev.servonaut/[email protected]); version-drift / rug-pull cannot be evaluated. Cold-start risk is covered by point-in-time checks (injection_surface, supply_chain, credential_hygiene), not here.
Transport config
warn10% of gradeRemote servers: TLS and auth mode (none/token/OAuth). Local servers: whether the manifest indicates it phones home.
manifest/source references Check for updates behavior — disclosure
Version history
Each release plotted by grade against the safe line at B. A version that sinks below the line has lost its trusted standing — the shape of a rug-pull.
