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 "@modelcontextprotocol/core" is edit-distance 1 from popular package "cors" (typosquat candidate); dependency "@modelcontextprotocol/node" is edit-distance 2 from popular package "@babel/core" (typosquat candidate); dependency "@modelcontextprotocol/client" is edit-distance 2 from popular package "@aws-sdk/client-s3" (typosquat candidate); dependency "@modelcontextprotocol/server" is edit-distance 1 from popular package "semver" (typosquat candidate)

• Credential hygiene

  pass15% of grade

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

  Reads secrets from the environment (e.g. src/cli/run-command.js) — the recommended intake shape. PASS = no static red flag; static analysis cannot prove the code honors env-based secret handling at runtime.

• Permission scope

  warn15% of grade

  Declared tools vs. breadth (filesystem, network, exec); flags shell-exec and unbounded filesystem access.

  references credential paths: bin/setup.js: references a credential path (/.cursor/) has both shell/exec and network egress — capable of download-and-run, though no such path was observed (bin/kubeview-mcp-code-mode.js: imports child_process and calls exec/spawn; src/tools/argocd/ArgoCDAppTool.ts: outbound HTTP/socket call). has both shell/exec and destructive filesystem writes (bin/kubeview-mcp-code-mode.js: imports child_process and calls exec/spawn; bin/setup.js: destructive/writing fs.* call (write/unlink/rm/chmod/rename)). discloses shell/exec capability: 4 files (bin/kubeview-mcp-code-mode.js, bin/kubeview-mcp.js, bin/setup.js, +1 more) discloses dynamic code execution: src/agent/runtime/ivm/IVMSandboxManager.ts: uses eval(…) discloses broad/destructive filesystem access: 6 files (bin/setup.js, src/cli/code-mode.ts, src/agent/codegen/CodegenManager.ts, +3 more) 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 2.0.0 (patch bump): new capability primitive(s) in source: child_process, dynamic-eval, fs-write, http-client, net; new hardcoded outbound host/BCC destination(s): github.com, json-schema.org, service-ip, www.anthropic.com.

• 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
