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

  fail25% of grade

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

  Python build script executes at build time: subprocess in build script

• Credential hygiene

  warn15% of grade

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

  tests/test_contract_action_types.py: contains a hardcoded Slack incoming webhook (http…ET (len 49)) — in an example/sample file; verify it is not a real key. tests/test_llm_providers.py: contains a hardcoded OpenAI API key (sk-s…ak (len 30)) — in an example/sample file; verify it is not a real key. Reads secrets from the environment (e.g. aurora_mcp/http_server.py) — the recommended intake shape.

• Permission scope

  warn15% of grade

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

  has both shell/exec and network egress — capable of download-and-run, though no such path was observed (aurora_sdk/runner.py: subprocess.* call; fantasyai/aurora/agents/data_acquisition.py: outbound HTTP/socket call). has both shell/exec and destructive filesystem writes (aurora_sdk/runner.py: subprocess.* call; fantasyai/aurora/audit.py: open(…, 'w'/'a'/'x') write-mode file access). discloses shell/exec capability: 4 files (aurora_sdk/runner.py, fantasyai/aurora/export.py, fantasyai/aurora/provenance/ledger.py, +1 more) discloses broad/destructive filesystem access: fantasyai/aurora/audit.py: open(…, 'w'/'a'/'x') write-mode file access discloses broad/destructive filesystem access: fantasyai/aurora/knowledge_bank/packs/downloader.py: open(…, 'w'/'a'/'x') write-mode file access discloses broad/destructive filesystem access: fantasyai/aurora/knowledge_bank/packs/installer.py: destructive filesystem call (shutil.rmtree/os.remove/etc.) 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 0.9.6 (minor bump): new capability primitive(s) in source: fs-write, http-client, subprocess; new hardcoded outbound host/BCC destination(s): 10.0.0.5, 127.0.0.1, api.anthropic.com, api.bls.gov, api.coingecko.com, api.groq.com, api.nasa.gov, api.open-meteo.com, api.openai.com, api.stlouisfed.org, api.worldbank.org, arxiv.org, aurora-qie.dev, creativecommons.org, current.geneontology.org, data.worldbank.org, datahelpdesk.worldbank.org, developers.zenodo.org, discord.com, doi.org, download.pytorch.org, dumps.wikimedia.org, earthquake.usgs.gov, en.wikipedia.org, eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov, example.com, example.invalid, example.test, fonts, fred.stlouisfed.org, ftp.uniprot.org, generativelanguage.googleapis.com, github.com, hal.science, hooks.slack.com, host.docker.internal, hpo.jax.org, huggingface.co, jsonfeed.org, kb.aurora.fantasylab.ai, mirror.test, oll.libertyfund.org, openstax.org, otexts.com, physics.nist.gov, pubs.usgs.gov, repository.library.noaa.gov, webbook.nist.gov, wwnorton.com, www.basketball-reference.com, www.bls.gov, www.hsph.harvard.edu, www.jstor.org, www.kegg.jp, www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov, www.ncdc.noaa.gov, www.ncei.noaa.gov, www.ndbc.noaa.gov, www.openml.org, www.uniprot.org, www.usa.gov, www.wikidata.org.

• Transport config

  warn10% of grade

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

  sends telemetry to third-party SDK (amplitude) — disclosure, verify opt-in; manifest/source references telemetry behavior — disclosure
