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 "get_movie" description: cross-tool redirection ('instead of call…'). tool "get_tv" description: cross-tool redirection ('instead of call…').

• 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

  pass15% of grade

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

  No shell-exec, unbounded/sensitive filesystem, or download-and-run primitives found in scanned source. PASS = no static red flag. Static scanning is blind to code fetched or executed at runtime.

• 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 0.10.1 (minor bump): new tool "search_movies" appeared; new tool "search_tv" appeared; new tool "search_multi" appeared; new tool "search_people" appeared; new tool "search_keywords" appeared; new tool "search_companies" touches a sensitive surface (email/exec/net/fs); new tool "search_watch_providers" appeared; new tool "get_movie" touches a sensitive surface (email/exec/net/fs); new tool "get_tv" touches a sensitive surface (email/exec/net/fs); new tool "get_movies" appeared; new tool "get_tv_shows" appeared; new tool "get_person" appeared; new tool "get_movie_credits" appeared; new tool "get_tv_credits" appeared; new tool "get_movie_recommendations" appeared; new tool "get_tv_recommendations" appeared; new tool "get_similar" appeared; new tool "get_reviews" appeared; new tool "get_collection" appeared; new tool "get_person_credits" appeared; new tool "get_trending" appeared; new tool "get_movie_genres" appeared; new tool "get_tv_genres" appeared; new tool "discover_movies" appeared; new tool "discover_tv" appeared; new tool "get_watch_providers" appeared; new tool "get_videos" touches a sensitive surface (email/exec/net/fs); new tool "find_by_imdb_id" appeared; new tool "get_tv_season" touches a sensitive surface (email/exec/net/fs); new tool "get_tv_episode" appeared; new tool "get_ratings" touches a sensitive surface (email/exec/net/fs).

• Transport config

  unscannable10% of grade

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

  local stdio server: no remote transport or auth surface, and no phone-home/telemetry signal found in source. Absence of transport findings is NOT a safety guarantee — phone-home hosts can be constructed at runtime and defeat static analysis.
