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 grade

  Tool 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

  warn25% of grade

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

  install hook "postinstall" present and not a recognized benign build command

• Credential hygiene

  pass15% of grade

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

  Reads secrets from the environment (e.g. src/lib/catalog.js) — the recommended intake shape. PASS = no static red flag; static analysis cannot prove the code honors env-based secret handling at runtime.

• Permission scope

  warn15% of grade

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

  references credential paths: src/lib/risk-paths.js: references a credential path (id_rsa) has both shell/exec and destructive filesystem writes (src/lib/converge.js: imports child_process and calls exec/spawn; src/lib/catalog.js: destructive/writing fs.* call (write/unlink/rm/chmod/rename)). discloses shell/exec capability: 4 files (src/lib/converge.js, src/lib/init.js, src/lib/tools.js, +1 more) discloses dynamic code execution: src/cli.js: uses eval(…) discloses broad/destructive filesystem access: 11 files (src/lib/catalog.js, src/lib/config.js, src/lib/eval.js, +8 more) Capability DISCLOSURE, not a verdict: static analysis sees the primitive is present and reachable, not whether its use is attacker-controlled.

• 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 1.6.1 (minor bump): new capability primitive(s) in source: child_process, dynamic-eval, fs-write, http-client; new hardcoded outbound host/BCC destination(s): bashbop.github.io, cli.github.com, github.com, no-color.org.

• Transport config

  warn10% of grade

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

  manifest/source references telemetry behavior — disclosure
