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, network call 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_web_auth.py: assigns a literal to TOKEN (el-t…no (len 14)) — non-provider secret literal; prefer environment intake. Reads secrets from the environment (e.g. src/local_delegate/autostart.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 (src/local_delegate/autostart.py: subprocess.* call; src/local_delegate/checks.py: outbound HTTP/socket call). has both shell/exec and destructive filesystem writes (src/local_delegate/autostart.py: subprocess.* call; src/local_delegate/install.py: destructive filesystem call (shutil.rmtree/os.remove/etc.)). discloses shell/exec capability: 6 files (src/local_delegate/autostart.py, src/local_delegate/doctor.py, src/local_delegate/install.py, +3 more) discloses broad/destructive filesystem access: src/local_delegate/install.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 0.26.0 (minor bump): new capability primitive(s) in source: child_process, fs-write, http-client, net, subprocess; new hardcoded outbound host/BCC destination(s): 127.0.0.1, 192.168.1.50, api.github.com, example.invalid, fonts.googleapis.com, fonts.googleapis.com.otrositio.tld, fonts.gstatic.com, github.com, opencode.ai, pc, pc.tailnet.ts.net, pc.ts.net, pypi.org, schema.org, test-backend, www.w3.org, x, zahirinatzuke, zahirinatzuke.github.io.

• 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 tracking behavior — disclosure
