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 gradeTool 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 gradePackage provenance: namespace verification, repo linkage, maintainer count, account age, postinstall scripts, typosquat distance.
Python build script executes at build time: network call in build script; package name "ha-mcp" is edit-distance 2 from popular package "mcp" (typosquat candidate)
Credential hygiene
fail15% of gradeHow the server takes secrets (env vs plaintext config vs hardcoded); secrets appearing in tool schemas.
src/ha_mcp/config.py: contains a hardcoded JWT (eyJh…ac (len 183)). tests/test_constants.py: contains a hardcoded JWT (eyJh…ac (len 183)) — in an example/sample file; verify it is not a real key. Reads secrets from the environment (e.g. src/ha_mcp/__main__.py) — the recommended intake shape.
Permission scope
fail15% of gradeDeclared tools vs. breadth (filesystem, network, exec); flags shell-exec and unbounded filesystem access.
HIGH: shell/exec capability AND network egress together — download-and-execute risk (src/ha_mcp/stdio_settings_sidecar.py: subprocess.* call; src/ha_mcp/client/rest_client.py: outbound HTTP/socket call). HIGH: shell/exec capability AND destructive filesystem writes together (src/ha_mcp/stdio_settings_sidecar.py: subprocess.* call; src/ha_mcp/server.py: path traversal ('../') combined with file access). discloses shell/exec capability: src/ha_mcp/stdio_settings_sidecar.py: subprocess.* call discloses shell/exec capability: tests/test_env_manager.py: subprocess.* call discloses dynamic code execution: src/ha_mcp/smoke_test.py: uses eval/exec/__import__ discloses dynamic code execution: src/ha_mcp/utils/python_sandbox.py: uses eval/exec/__import__ discloses broad/destructive filesystem access: src/ha_mcp/server.py: path traversal ('../') combined with file access discloses broad/destructive filesystem access: src/ha_mcp/tools/tools_code.py: path traversal ('../') combined with file access discloses broad/destructive filesystem access: src/ha_mcp/tools/tools_filesystem.py: path traversal ('../') combined with file access discloses broad/destructive filesystem access: tests/test_env_manager.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 gradeDiff of tool definitions between versions; new permissions or changed descriptions in a patch release (the postmark-mcp class).
vs prior 7.14.0 (patch 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, api.github.com, cdn.example.com, community.home-assistant.io, dash.cloudflare.com, developers.home-assistant.io, example.com, github, ha, ha-mcp-demo-server.qc-h.net, ha-mcp-resources.rapid-math-bbad.workers.dev, hacs.xyz, homeassistant, homeassistant-ai.github.io, oauth-mode, platform.claude.com, puppet, pypi.org, raw.githubusercontent.com, smoke-test, supervisor, worker.dev, www.home-assistant.io, www.w3.org, your-tunnel.com, your-tunnel.trycloudflare.com.
Transport config
fail10% of gradeRemote servers: TLS and auth mode (none/token/OAuth). Local servers: whether the manifest indicates it phones home.
source performs runtime self-update / download-and-execute (bypasses version_behavior); manifest/source references tracking behavior — disclosure
Version history
Each release plotted by grade against the safe line at B. A version that sinks below the line has lost its trusted standing — the shape of a rug-pull.
