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
pass25% of gradePackage provenance: namespace verification, repo linkage, maintainer count, account age, postinstall scripts, typosquat distance.
repository linkage verified
Credential hygiene
warn15% of gradeHow the server takes secrets (env vs plaintext config vs hardcoded); secrets appearing in tool schemas.

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 (pacioli/tests/test_store_torn_write.py: subprocess.* call; pacioli/erpnext.py: outbound HTTP/socket call). HIGH: shell/exec capability AND destructive filesystem writes together (pacioli/tests/test_store_torn_write.py: subprocess.* call; pacioli/runtime.py: path traversal ('../') combined with file access). discloses shell/exec capability: pacioli/tests/test_store_torn_write.py: subprocess.* call discloses broad/destructive filesystem access: pacioli/runtime.py: path traversal ('../') combined with file access discloses broad/destructive filesystem access: pacioli/tests/_torn_write_crash_worker.py: open(…, 'w'/'a'/'x') write-mode file access discloses broad/destructive filesystem access: pacioli/tests/test_a2a_signing.py: destructive filesystem call (shutil.rmtree/os.remove/etc.) discloses broad/destructive filesystem access: pacioli/tests/test_doctor.py: destructive filesystem call (shutil.rmtree/os.remove/etc.) discloses broad/destructive filesystem access: pacioli/tests/test_runtime.py: destructive filesystem call (shutil.rmtree/os.remove/etc.) discloses broad/destructive filesystem access: pacioli/tests/test_runtime.py: path traversal ('../') combined with file access discloses broad/destructive filesystem access: pacioli/tests/test_store.py: destructive filesystem call (shutil.rmtree/os.remove/etc.) discloses broad/destructive filesystem access: pacioli/tests/test_store_seal.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
unscannable10% of gradeDiff 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.john-broadway/[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 gradeRemote servers: TLS and auth mode (none/token/OAuth). Local servers: whether the manifest indicates it phones home.
manifest/source references heartbeat 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.
