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.

6 checks2 clean3 flagged1 not inspected

  • 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

    pass25% of grade

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

    repository linkage verified

  • 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. bin/lib/agent-projection-command.mjs) — 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: 6 files (bin/lib/html-report.mjs, bin/lib/install-migrate.mjs, bin/lib/managed-upgrade.mjs, +3 more) has both shell/exec and network egress — capable of download-and-run, though no such path was observed (bin/ark-check-runtime.mjs: imports child_process; bin/ark-dashboard.mjs: outbound HTTP/socket call). has both shell/exec and destructive filesystem writes (bin/ark-check-runtime.mjs: imports child_process; bin/lib/agent-projection-command.mjs: destructive/writing fs.* call (write/unlink/rm/chmod/rename)). discloses shell/exec capability: 17 files (bin/ark-check-runtime.mjs, bin/ark-mcp-runtime.mjs, bin/ark.mjs, +14 more) discloses broad/destructive filesystem access: 20 files (bin/lib/agent-projection-command.mjs, bin/ark-check-runtime.mjs, bin/ark-shared.mjs, +17 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 4.8.8 (patch bump): new capability primitive(s) in source: http-client; new hardcoded outbound host/BCC destination(s): 127.0.0.1.

  • 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 telemetry 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.
