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 checks4 clean1 flagged1 not inspected
  • Injection surface

    pass25% of grade

    Tool descriptions/manifest scanned for instruction-injection patterns (imperatives at the model, hidden text, 'ignore previous', data-exfil URLs).

    Scanned 88 text field(s); no instruction-injection patterns found. PASS = no static red flag. A server can serve different tool descriptions at runtime (the rug-pull class), which static scanning cannot see.

  • 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.

    No hardcoded secrets, secret-shaped tool parameters, or leaked keys found. PASS = no static red flag; static analysis cannot prove the code honors env-based secret handling at runtime.

  • Permission scope

    unscannable15% of grade

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

    No source files, package.json, or pyproject were fetched; cannot infer capability scope.

  • Version behavior

    warn10% of grade

    Diff of tool definitions between versions; new permissions or changed descriptions in a patch release (the postmark-mcp class).

    vs prior 1.0.0 (patch bump): new tool "easypost_list_shipments" appeared; new tool "easypost_get_shipment" appeared; new tool "easypost_list_trackers" appeared; new tool "easypost_get_tracker" appeared; new tool "easypost_list_addresses" appeared; new tool "easypost_get_address" appeared; new tool "easypost_verify_address" appeared; new tool "easypost_create_shipment" appeared; new tool "easypost_create_tracker" appeared; new tool "easypost_buy_shipment" appeared; new tool "easypost_refund_shipment" appeared.

  • Transport config

    pass10% of grade

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

    remote endpoint "https://easypost.usefulapi.io/mcp" uses TLS (https); remote endpoint uses OAuth (strongest auth mode)

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.
