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
fail25% of gradePackage provenance: namespace verification, repo linkage, maintainer count, account age, postinstall scripts, typosquat distance.
Python build script executes at build time: network call in build script
Credential hygiene
warn15% of gradeHow the server takes secrets (env vs plaintext config vs hardcoded); secrets appearing in tool schemas.
tests/test_github_code_search.py: embeds a PRIVATE KEY block. (in an example/sample file — lower severity, but a real key here still leaks.) Reads secrets from the environment (e.g. clearfront/agent.py) — the recommended intake shape.
Permission scope
fail15% of gradeDeclared tools vs. breadth (filesystem, network, exec); flags shell-exec and unbounded filesystem access.
HIGH: downloads and pipes straight to a shell (clearfront/agent.py: pipes a download into a shell). 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 gradeDiff of tool definitions between versions; new permissions or changed descriptions in a patch release (the postmark-mcp class).
vs prior 2.7.2 (patch bump): new capability primitive(s) in source: fs-write, http-client; new hardcoded outbound host/BCC destination(s): ..., 10.0.0.1, 10.0.0.9, 127.0.0.1, 169.254.169.254, 192.168.1.1, a.com, account.shodan.io, account.shodan.io., api.abuseipdb.com, api.brightdata.com, api.github.com, api.greynoise.io, api.ip2location.io, api.openai.com, b.com, bing.com, blockstream.info, cavalier.hudsonrock.com, chess.com, cool.example, creativecommons.org, crt.sh, emailrep.io, env-server, ethereum-rpc.publicnode.com, etherscan.io, evil.com, evil.example.com, example.com, fake.com, flag-server, get.brightdata.com, github.com, google.com, google.serper.dev, graphml.graphdrawing.org, gravatar.com, haveibeenpwned.com, instagram.com, ipinfo.io, janedoe.com, linkedin.com, maps.google.com, my-server, nowhere, ollama.com, open.spotify.com, paste.ee, pastebin.com, platform.censys.io, primary-link.com, reddit.com, serper.dev, serper.dev., soundcloud.com, tiktok.com, twitter.com, url, web.archive.org, wordpress.com, www.abuseipdb.com, www.chess.com, www.google.com, www.ip2location.io, www.reddit.com, www.tiktok.com, www.twitter.com, www.virustotal.com, www.w3.org, www.youtube.com, x.com.
Transport config
fail10% of gradeRemote servers: TLS and auth mode (none/token/OAuth). Local servers: whether the manifest indicates it phones home.
source performs runtime self-update / download-and-execute (bypasses version_behavior)
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.
