INFO Transport & authentication §3

Local (stdio) server: runs with host-process privileges by design. Transport checks apply to remote servers; scrutiny shifts to §1/§2.

PASS No known vulnerabilities (OSV.dev) §4.1

No advisories on record for target-mcp @0.1.2 (PyPI).

PASS Server-supplied instructions free of poisoning indicators §5.1–§5.4

No poisoning indicators found across 1 server-supplied text item(s).

What this grade covers
  • Provenance & supply-chain integrity (§1)
  • Tool surface & capability risk (§2)
  • Transport & authentication (§3)
  • Known CVEs via OSV.dev (§4)
  • Instruction/tool poisoning patterns (§5)

Limitations: pattern-based only (no semantic injection detection), static npm analysis (live server instructions not retrieved for package-only scans), single-server scope (no cross-server toxic flow analysis). See the full policy.
