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 "kochava_free_app_analytics_create_acc_and_get_auth_key" description: bare 'IMPORTANT:' prose in a description (tag form is high-confidence; prose is warn). tool "kochava_free_app_analytics_create_acc_and_get_auth_key" description: off-vendor URL in a description (s34035.pcdn.co); capability text should not name where data goes. tool "kochava_free_app_analytics_create_acc_and_get_auth_key" param "tos_agreed" description: 'before using this tool…' preamble (tool-poisoning shape). tool "kochava_free_app_analytics_create_acc_and_get_auth_key" param "tos_agreed" description: off-vendor URL in a description (s34035.pcdn.co); capability text should not name where data goes. tool "kochava_free_app_analytics_create_acc_and_get_auth_key" param "privacy" description: off-vendor URL in a description (www.kochava.com); capability text should not name where data goes.

• 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

  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

  unscannable10% of grade

  Diff 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 io.github.Kochava/[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

  fail10% of grade

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

  remote MCP endpoint declares NO authentication (unauthenticated remote — nginx-ui/CVE-2026-33032 class)
