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 "register_account" description: off-vendor URL in a description (hpsilab.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.

  Python build script has no build-time network/exec; 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

  fail10% of grade

  Diff of tool definitions between versions; new permissions or changed descriptions in a patch release (the postmark-mcp class).

  vs prior 0.9.2 (minor bump): tool "analyze_stock" description changed (wording only, no injection pattern); tool "get_iv_radar" description changed (wording only, no injection pattern); tool "get_iv_radar" gained input property(ies): symbol; tool "get_option_pressure" description changed (wording only, no injection pattern); tool "get_option_pressure" gained input property(ies): symbol; tool "get_monte_carlo" description changed (wording only, no injection pattern); tool "get_monte_carlo" gained input property(ies): symbol; tool "get_ai_prediction" description changed (wording only, no injection pattern); tool "get_ai_prediction" gained input property(ies): symbol; tool "get_equity_curve" description changed (wording only, no injection pattern); tool "get_equity_curve" gained input property(ies): symbol; tool "generate_stock_research_report" description changed (wording only, no injection pattern); tool "generate_stock_images" description changed (wording only, no injection pattern); tool "get_pretrade_risk_scan" description changed (wording only, no injection pattern); tool "register_account" description changed and now contains embedded outbound URL.

• Transport config

  pass10% of grade

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

  remote endpoint "https://hpsilab.com/mcp" uses TLS (https); remote endpoint uses OAuth (strongest auth mode)
