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

  warn25% of grade

  Package provenance: namespace verification, repo linkage, maintainer count, account age, postinstall scripts, typosquat distance.

  dependency "@opentelemetry/api" is edit-distance 2 from popular package "pg" (typosquat candidate)

• Credential hygiene

  warn15% of grade

  How the server takes secrets (env vs plaintext config vs hardcoded); secrets appearing in tool schemas.

  .env.example: contains a hardcoded Slack token (xoxb…re (len 20)) — in an example/sample file; verify it is not a real key. Reads secrets from the environment (e.g. src/utils/aegis-vault.js) — the recommended intake shape.

• Permission scope

  fail15% of grade

  Declared 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/utils/baseline-manager.js: imports child_process and calls exec/spawn; src/utils/codebase-analyzer.js: outbound HTTP/socket call). HIGH: shell/exec capability AND destructive filesystem writes together (src/utils/baseline-manager.js: imports child_process and calls exec/spawn; src/utils/a11y-deep-analyzer.js: path traversal

and reachable, not whether its use is attacker-controlled.

• 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.ironclawdevs27/[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

  warn10% of grade

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

  sends telemetry to third-party SDK (Datadog) — disclosure, verify opt-in; manifest/source references phone-home behavior — disclosure
